Oh, Why~Hello September.

Autumn is almost here!

Boring Blog

I'm sorry that you are reading my bored blog today. I'm still knitting this slow baby blanket. It's not yet finish. Sometimes I fell asleep while I'm knitting because it is same over and over a thousand stitches. Same repeat after repeat stitch pattern. Sometimes I get bored and sleepy over just one white colour. I'm looking forward to get this finishing. Currently, I'm working on edge for a body to bind off. I did 1st side done, 2nd side done, and now 3rd side is almost done then I'll be working on 4th side of square blanket. I like to knit the corners. The corners are fun than bored straight edge. 

Psst, I just ordered the yarns from KnitPicks for Soleado bag. It'll be fair isle knitting. I wanted Indiana colors but most of them are unavailable. Only available are black, surf blue, celery green, pink, yellow, and lilac purple. It's CotLin yarn. Cotton blend with linen. CotLin is stronger than just cotton itself. 

Today Is Finally Arrives!

Yes, it's Wyatt's first day of school today. Ahh, much quieter in the house today. I catch up cleaned the kitchen today without him bothering me. He was little grumpy because he was tired. I told him last night to go sleep. He didn't listens to me. Now he learned his lesson. He thinks that his class is only two hours like a kindergarten. I warned him it'll be takes all day. 

Now Emma is with me until next year for her kindergarten. Good news that she's still nap so I can nap while Wyatt's not at home. 

Weather today is so good for me. It's cloudy and 40% chance of raining. It's 65 degree today, so nice! Last night, it was thunderstorm. We enjoyed watch it. 

My first organic summer squash in my garden! It's so delicious! I'm looking forward more to come. 

County Fair

That's all I can say. We had fun time together at the fair. The kids ate pizza. The parents ate Chinese food. The kids went for the few rides due to money. I don't want to spent over $60 just for the rides. It's ridiculous prices. I'm not staying longer. It's hot for me. So $20 is good enough. I prefer lagoon than tokens. We like to see the farm. 

This Moment

{this moment} ~ A Tuesday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. 

He Won

He won from beard contest of the best grow beard. He was surprised. It's happened in Pony Express in Clarkston. He actually thought that he won't won this contest. But he wrong about this. It took him to grow his beard for two months. I love about him that he's not hairy man. Hairy gross me out. I always wanted to pick hair on his nipples. He refuses allow me to do because he said "this makes me feel more manly". I rolled my eyes at him and said whatever. Gosh, I love him! 

Family Tattooes

We went to the July 24th fair in Willow Park. We saw tattoo booth. I want it than face painting. It's lasting for 7 days. I wanted Tangled sun, unfortunately no yellow colour. So I went for glitter teal colour. Derek got broncos. Emma got glitter heart with dolphin. Wyatt got lizard. It was small festival fair. It was fun. 

In The Garden

Oh look! The summer squashes are finally sprout out. The green beans is still tiny, that's mean it no good. The corn are red and have a lot of insects on corns. So I'm thinking to garden squash next year but no corn and green beans. Maybe peas. I'm hoping I able can garden some of fruits too. It's has been raining for almost a week. I love raining, storm, and thunder in summer time. I'm thinking about to have a bit bigger garden for next year than present garden. So far it's good garden with our first attempt experience. I need to get work on that weed to empty next year so they, I'm hoping, won't come back. It's growing bigger than my previous garden photos. 

Camp Time

I wanted to keep the kids busy. So we set up the tent in our family room. (After we put it down and the rod to hold the tent up is broke. Just great). At least the kids had great time. I'm hoping we able to get new rod than buy a whole new ones. 

It was great time to knitting while they were keeping busy. The blanket is not finish just yet. 

At bedtime, I took the shots of them while they are sleeping in tent for just one night. We need to go out and camp in campground. 

1950's Cardigan

I wanted to knit something that was came from in 1950's. So I found ones on Ravelry. I wanted knit in garter stitch. I knitted with Noro yarn: silk, wool, nylon. Size: 6/9 months old. Wood buttons. It was fun to knit. It's for Kelli soon to be newborn boy.
