One Project Done And New Project

I finished knitting a baby cardigan and a beret hat for Christmas gift of Derek's family. I love the owl buttons. It's easy and quick project. The yarn came from London, England. It's merino and silk blend. I'm hoping that they will love it. 

Next project is to make a Soleado bag for me. It won't be the same colors as you are seeing it from here. It's pink, purple, green, blue, green, and black. I wanted the same colors above but there weren't any available left so bummer. One thing from the bag is different that I knit in a normal square than knit into a chart. I knitted a striped colors square. 

Now I'm knitting slow down. I don't want to go fast. I'm done knitting for Christmas now. Now we need to go to shopping for Christmas gifts. Only two more to go. Then I will shopping for my kids. This time, they won't get the toys. They are always breaking the toys. So I will buy only blanket and clothes. They need to learn how to stop breaking their toys. It's frustrating. I already told everyone not to buy the toys for the kids. I told them that they are wasting their money. 

Too Many To Tell...

My finished scarves. Ready to go. Can't wait to wear it soon. 

My cousin love the knitted baby blanket that I gave it to them for their newly baby boy. Aaron said that I should knit something and sell it. That'll be too much of work. Maybe in someday. But I glad they love it. My mother told me that everyone was ohh's and ahh's at the baby shower party. I was at St. George. 

I have been working on my project. A wee Liesl cardigan by ysolda. She's very clever lady. I'm bad at math. I'm not designer. But I'm good at reading the pattern, even in the difficult project. I taught myself how to knit. I have never ask for help from designers and my local yarn shop. 

I ordered the new yarns from jimmy beans wool in Reno, Nevada. It only closer to my state than from the east states, Canada, and London; England. Yes, I order the yarns stuff from worldwide. Not just in the United States. This yarns will be cowl from Laura Nelkin, Knockout Knit that just released last month, September 2nd. I'm telling you that I want to knit everything. I started stop using the crochet. I'm more like knitting lover. I like how the stitches look better than crochet stitches. I don't like how the way crochet decease or increase in the stitches. To me, it's not looking professional. So I deleted the crochet patterns off my queue in Ravelry. I'll always have the thing of knit. They are better and the best. 

Spooooooky Love It!

I wanted to buy the Halloween earrings. Finally, I have them. 

The fireplace is on now. We are not be using the heat just yet. I want to use only fireplace to warm up the house for a while. So far, I love it. Worth my penny. 

I bought the new flicker lights for my decorations. It's safer than light the candles. But I'm still using the candles on my kitchen table for dinner. Spooky dinner without the light fixtures. Of course, the kids are always excited to blow out the candles. 

Be spooky! 

Hello, finally, October.

Let's October welcome to you. Finally, cold weather is here! Happy fall and enjoy the crispy air season. 

This moment

The moment I want to pause and remember. Yesterday, we decorated the Halloween in the house. 

Last night, I finished my knitting scarf. Now that they are blocking. I will post the pictures of them soon. When they are air dry. 

Last night, I knitted a swatch to check my gauge. Surprisely, I got the right gauge. So I'm going ahead and start to knitting now. 

I love the yarn color gold to welcome the autumn season. I'll knitting in 0-6 month size. It's for Derek's cousin's newborn baby girl for Christmas gift. (Cody, the cousin and Izabelle, the newborn baby girl). 

Project, Project

I have been knitting. Current, I'm knitting two beads scarves. Ones is for Christmas gift. Another one is for me. It's from laura nelkin. It's Latus scarf. I'm using the two different beads colors. One is teal colour and another is ice cold blue(that's mine) beads. I'm using merino/silk peacock colour yarn. I purchase from my local yarn shop. 

A few days ago and I love to see the foggy morning outside of my house. Autumn is begun. Finally! Today's weather is cloudy and rainy day. I love the cooler weather. We went outside front and played in the rain. It was heavy rain. We got wet. The kids were biking and got wet too. I love the feeling of chilling wet on my shoulders. 

The next project is to make a baby cardigan for Christmas gift. A gold lace wave cardigan with the owls buttons. Also I'll make a baby beret hat too. I want a cute little button. Owl is cute as a button. 

Recently, I took a shot with volka and I don't feel well when I had an empty stomach. Recommend don't do it when your stomach is empty.  I'm going to get something to eat. 

Where has time gone???

We went to St. George for our vacation without the kids! It was so nice and a very quiet time together alone. We love to swim in there. The weather was hotter than my home town. We stayed for three days. My parents were babysitting my kids while we were at there. We love it and so much needed vacation. Now I want to go to Yellowstone. But it needs to be wait. 

We went to the Zion national parks. We love to drive into a tunnel. It was fun. It was so beautiful park. Red mountain. Good time. 

We went to cedar mountain after Zion national parks. I love it so much! The fall changing colors. I love the foggy and it was 50 degrees out there. When we were stopped and got out of the our rental car to take the photos. And it was cold outside. I loved every moment. Derek was freezing. I was in heaven in autumn area. It was a long drive back to cedar city but it was worth the moment. We were on our way to home. It was on highway 14. 

Where has the time gone??? I miss it already. Derek said it's time to go back to reality life and work. Sighs....

Time Lapse of 2 Weeks

My squashes are still growing. The green bean are growing some of pods. Only a few. I'm ready to harvest my garden. Derek said no, he wants to continue for a bit. 

I got a new pair of glasses from Zenni. 

On my birthday evening, I was watching TV about 9/11 with my original Smirnoff. 

The kids were playing with my photo from iPad. 

I was enjoying to watch my Reeses drinking water. 

The fall colors is here! I love to watch them adjust into different colour. I can smell crispy air outside. I noticed the sun is move away from us. It was hard to getting up in the morning for school and stay awake all day. No, I'm not in school, it's for Wyatt. Yes, I am having hard time to stay awake. 

Wyatt was playing with Emma's hair and I wanted to pause the moment to remember. 

What am I knitting: beads scarf from Laura Nelkin for Christmas gift. Also I'm planning to make another ones just for me. It's Latus scarf. I knit the short row to place the beads. It's fun project. Yarn: merino blends with silk. From cascade yarn. It's softer for your neck than itching your neck. It's peacock colour. So pretty. I used two different colors of beads one: white beads to looks like frozen icicles. Two: teal to looks like peacock. But for mine, crystal with inside line blue. 

Psst, Derek and I are off to St. George together tomorrow without the kids for the weekend. Derek is so looking forward for that. 

Happy Birthday

I realized that we no longer have toddler in our house now. Yes! Emma has became a child. We had Frozen cake. I took Emma to the mall for Claire's earrings. I got Knockout Knit book by Laura Nelkin and pumpkin latte from Starbucks. Everyone had fun time for Emma's birthday party. After the party, (only our families, no friends yet.) she's exhausted from the excitement. The kids were doing their Halloween craft with their grandmothers. Wyatt had this birthday thing that he's easily getting mad at because he wants his birthday to be here. That which, we are annoying about this because he couldn't understand it yet. He LOVES presents. Oh dear! 

Wind Cave

What a brutal and exhausted hike! It took us 2 hours to walk up. Also it took us 45 minutes down. It's almost 2 miles (1.8 miles). Derek and I agrees never again. Emma and I stayed down for bit due to sickness from high altitude. Derek and Wyatt went to see inside of cave. I wish I could but I felt dizzy. It's awful hike because it's so rocky and steep trail. I was so happy when we were on bottom to our van. We were sore for a few days. We took the hot salt bath. The kids were so energized about hike. They even went too fast to hike. I was out of breathe for every 30 seconds. Good thing, we bought 3 water bottles. It's not for beginnier hike. It so tough hike. We were enjoyed to see our kids burned their energies and went to sleep early. We started to hike at 2pm and we got home at 6:30pm. Long afternoon hike. I did enjoyed the nature and saw some colorful trees. Whew!
