Something Poison Me...

I'm sure you are wondering about this word 'poison'.....

My dearest comfortable pink recliner sofa is poisoning me by so sleepy once I sit down. It curses me to sleep spell. I can't knitting while I'm sleeping. Emma is always sitting on side by me- more cuddle and comfort to feel her love. 

So I'm sitting on my brown couch to avoid sleep spell. And Emma is still sitting by me on brown couch.  She's gluing to me. 

I don't know about new brown recliner just yet. 

Also knitting in my basement, my yarn office desk help me to stays awake because it's hard chair and bitter cold down there. (Yes, I do use my heater). 

Yesterday, I had my shawl in for surgery. It had an error on two rows below. All is fixed now. It's happening sometimes due to my sleepy spell pink recliner. Sometimes I forgot to yarn over. I'm not always perfect. I'm human like you. Every knitters have the mistake on their knitting project, I'm not only one.

Today's weather is cloudy. It's little tired for me. I have been up since 8 AM. I had always up since 11 AM. I want to change my sleep routine. But at least, it's daylight now. Yesterday while I was in my bathtub, I was grateful for my bathroom is yellow color with sun shine thru my bathroom's window. It helps. 

Random Saturday

1. At the short moment, I thought today is Friday. 

2. Nope, it's Saturday. Time: take it easy!

3. I'm glad today is sunny. I'm little bit down from cloudy yesterday. 

4. I'm glad it's not snowing, usually I am exciting for fall snowing. My van is shiny cleaned from car wash.

5. Unusual for me, I'm ready for warm weather by now. 

6. I'm envy of stephanie the knitter is in Cuba for her new year vacation with her family.

7. I'm finally all better from flu from earlier this week. 

8. I'm exciting, I just ordered a set of tulip crochet hooks.

9. I'm planning to surprise Derek, I'll order a set of comforter bedding of Denver Bronco for our bed in next few weeks.

10. I love to read knitters blogs.

11. I'm obsessed knitting right now. I'm knitting beads shawlette right now (photo below).  

12. I'm enjoying this bright sun shine upon us right now. I don't want dark to come. 

13. Again, time: take it easy, it's already 2014. I still remember back in 2004. 

14. Back to knitting....

Welcome 2014; January

How was your holiday? Our was great. We went to Derek's parents' house on 24th with a big families to open each person, their own gifts from everyone of us. I got a gift card to JoAnn. I ordered tulip crochet hook online. Derek got a gift card to Walmart. Wyatt got a movie desp....me 2. Emma got a Frozen princess dress. 

That night, we left Clarkston for Bountiful. So we spend the day at my parents' house on the 25th. We even got more presents. I got more yarns, I'm happy. Derek got Denver broncos bedding sheet. The kids got more toys, oh dear.

Uncle Lee and Aunt Susan stopped by and had breakfast with us. There were usually have everyone to come for breakfast but none of them come. 

I was excited to playing with a black lab dog. Love him. Skeeter, the yorkie, got haircut. So cute. Lucky, the pug, is hyper as always. 

We went to home on Christmas night. I don't want to stay another night. I just want to go to home to my own bed. We had our little Christmas when we got home.

Now, as for 2014: I want to knit more than 2013. ...Ok ok, I admit, only 4 cupcakes from Tempation Cupcake, one each of us for 12 time a year. Once a month. 2013 was so bad about cupcake thingy. We freak love it so much. Ok, the kids eat only in the kitchen, not in family room, if they want to watch a TV, then sit down on kitchen table/floor by wall rail and watch. And last, finally, be prepare: save money for ER, so we can be ready anytime of this time of year. Storage more food/water. Stay. Out. Of. Debts!(so far, we are off debts.)

Phew!

Emma got a nurse toy from her Aunt Kelli.

Oh dear, Wyatt was inside of this box and off being goofy. 

Since lately, we had been cleaning the house after the crazy holidays. Only left are bathrooms, vacuum the entire house, clean kitchen, and do all laundry. 

Psst, we got a "new" recliner sofa from my brother's. We do keep pink recliner sofa.

Merry Christmas

Hello you guys from Bountiful, Utah. Hope you have a good christmas time with your families. We did. We went to Derek's parents on the 24(yesterday) and we are here at my parents today.

The kids were excited about the presents. I got more yarns. Derek got Denver Broncos bedsheets. The kids just got the toys. Always toys.

The weather today is sunny. I am disappointed! I wanted snowing. It will be real christmas day.

I was so excited to sit by the fireplace. I love it. I am planning to order and instal a new fireplace in my family room.

Anyway...

So cute! Tiny ice cream. Perfect for kids. 

Aww...

Air popped popcorn with candy sugar flavour peppermint. Mm..

Merry Christmas from us!

The Moments

How's your Christmas shopping? Done? No? I accomplished my Christmas list shopping. I'm happy I'm avoiding the busy stores. Today, I decided to get groceries shopping at Macey's, not in Walmart. Walmart is chaos right now. 

Now: 

I want to show you my "knitting table" in my kitchen table. I am still not finishing my longest overdue, a over year, really late deadline, cable and lace cardigan project. I wanted to start a new project. So I'm knitting a shawlette with the beads. I recently went to Jo-Ann to purchased one more of blue ball yarn. 

Look at what Wyatt made for us from his class:

I was surprised to see this gift to us from Wyatt. I dear this. It'll be nice if we make one for every year to see the kids growing and bigger. Yes? I thought it so too. 

Emma just learned how to knit, she just wants to play with knitting stuff. She hasn't been serious knitting just yet. She feels so good after I teach her. Maybe she someday become a knitter. I'm hoping she won't steal my yarns. We will wait and see....

We have been watching the Christmas movies. Love it. We are exciting for Christmas. I love to be with our families on Christmas. "I'll be home on Christmas". 

Our Date

Our date with Emma. We went to Happy Nails to get our nails pedicures. Emma got glitter purple. I got a full set of aryclic nails. I asked for gel, oh well. Next time I won't to go to Happy Nails again. I wanted a nude shade colour with a snowman on my ring nails. I just wanted to have fun time together at our "spa". Emma was so excited when she entered the store. We had a good time. Wyatt was at school. 

Psst, we, my little family, went to see Frozen movie in a theatre. We will definitely buy a DVD. I read about this story on google. We love Olaf the snowman and a reindeer as like a dog. I love a winter movie because I'm a winter girl. I absolutely hate summer. 

Hello December

Welcome December. We celebrated Wyatt's 6th birthday. We can't believe that he is already six. I still remember when I was in hospital with him. I miss when he was a newborn baby boy. My parents came. We went out to Royal Express Chinese restaurant. Derek's mom stopped by before Derek picked Wyatt up from his school. 

Ok, here the photos of me, I took an experiment on my hair. I did do in old fashion way, by twist and knot then let it dry overnight. Not what I had hoped for.  

In the next morning, my hair is wacko! Look like I was shock. Afro hair, bad hair day, you name it. My hair is very thin. I enjoyed this hair by so thick. Derek loves to see me in this unusual hair. He said, something is different than common same daily. Something is unusual and different. 

So welcome December to you. Merry Christmas! Oh, I love Christmas. We are watching the Christmas movies this month. Wanted to welcome a Christmas spirit. 

Still Working On That....

Sighs, yes I'm still working on sleeves. Everything is so crazy, especially with holidays, school, new members of neighbour next to us. The kids are wild as the monkeys -related with the holidays coming- Wyatt makes me crazy because it no school this week-thanksgiving break- geez. I'm thankful for school- so, it quiet in the house without the kids. 

Tomorrow, I hope we will have a good time with families for dinner. Shawn's family and Graden's family (Derek's brothers) won't be here with us. This is first time for us to experience without them. I was used to a big families together for dinner. My parents will be gone to Moab. 

School- a lot of homework to help out with Wyatt. Read time routine. Doing fluency speech with my farewell neighbour, Diana Smart. I need to find someone to do it for me, eh. 

New neighbour will move in after December 12th, they are getting married that weekend in December. So my neighbour are so stressful. Yesterday, it was last day for carpool together for school. I enjoyed it so much. Save gas. Now from on, on my own everyday to pick him up from school, again eh. I saw the new neighbour, we tried to met them but they were busy with their new house. Hopefully we will introduced ourselves to them soon. I'm hoping they don't freak out that we are deaf. 

Anyway, about my project, I'm trying to knit more than 5 rows. I'm knitting at once, at the same time sleeves than one sleeves then knit another second sleeves. I only have 4 cables (braid) more to go then I'll knit for shaping shoulders cap. 

Psst, I just like "U" in words, I'm copying Canadian language just for fun. Colour, neighbour, favourite...

Hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving dinner with your families. I'm sure we will have a good time. Trip safe, I'm hoping we will travel to Clarkston safe because my van has an issue with VDC. I'll take it to shop next week. I'm hoping it just a brake fluid low. Lucky, it just in this valley, not on I-15 freeway.

6 Pairs...

Finally done. So I can go back to my project to finishing it that I had started in August 2012. I am in desperately want to starting a new project. Boo.

So that's all I say today... Here I go to work my WIP(work in process) project. At least, I'm happy the fingerless mittens are done. 

Today's weather is good! I am in mood for storm, colder air, dark cloudy... 

Psst, I finished watch TV show 'Revolution'(2013). I'm waiting for season two to come out on netflix next year. I don't want to watch weekly, it's eating my time and to answer the questions, so watch all 22 episodes at once for about a week than weekly on TV. 

Little Cutie

I have been knitting the fingerless mittens for a friend for her kids' Christmas. 6 pairs of them. Only two pairs to go. I'm using Debbie Bliss merino wool. DK weight. Colours in red, midnight blue, lipstick pink, blueberry pie purple. The pink is blend with cashmere. Too soft.
