Weird Moment

Ok, Emma had a gross lunch. She had a bread with mayo and candy on it. She loves bread with just mayo. Yes, it gross me out. 

A few nights ago, we had our dinner date at our kitchen. We ate just steak. I took the last fork because all of the forks are dirty and are in dishwasher machine. So Derek had an idea to use corn fork as a fork. I was laughing. Good moment date together. Geez, I love him so much. I love my tiny family so much. 

This Moment

{this moment} ~ A Thursday 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. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

Cutest Booties

Cutest booties by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. I wanted to knit it for Aaron. It form into a little socks to makes look booties. If anyone wants to knit this pattern, they need to know how to knit the sock pattern. This is not for a beginner. Next project, I wanted to crochet boot for baby girl (for Christmas gift). I'll post it when I'm working it on. Stay tuned. 

This Moment

I want tp pause and savor this moment after Emma put the nature on stool chair from the park we went a few days ago. Isn't it pretty? I love it. I almost threw away due to dirt but then I realized it's so autumn. I'm glad I took the picture of it. Enjoy!

Life Cycle Blanket

 

Finally, my knitting is done. I wanted something to feel antique blanket for my cousin, Aaron Jensen soon to be daddy newborn baby.

 

 

I had been knitting for 2 months. I could get it done in about 3 weeks but I didn't. I was sick for almost two weeks. I was too attract the movies. Yesterday, I had bold decision that I will finish this blanket so I did. I blocked it today. I use ayrrolo yarn from Blazing Needles in SLC.  

 





 

I took some of the pictures in processed of knitting. The only longest is knit the edge to bind off the body. I knit in 12 repeats in each sides. I knit 3 repeat in each corners.  

 

I am glad it is done because I want to knit in colorful project next. But first, I need to knit the cutest booties from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. It will be the same yarn as a blanket to match.

 

I blocked on my basement floor. It's too big for my block board. I don't want block on my bed. I need my own bed. So I had an idea to do this because it's new carpet from my friend. Also, it's good place to block to stay away from the kids.

 

Looks neat? Yes? I am still in amazing mode to saw this. It's certainly beautiful.

 



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.
