Breathtaking!!

Oh my! Look at them! It's surely taking my breath away! It's at second dam in Logan canyon. 

Easter Time Together

How's your Easter Day? Our was, eh, okay. The kids had the meltdown in a half of day. When the evening was came, it was good. We went to Golden Corral for our Easter breakfast. We had not gone to there for 6 years and I had forgotten how it looks like. Now, it was ok. I like village inn restaurant better. My opinion. Derek likes the buffet to get as much as you can. 

Derek was stubborn to buy the Easter baskets for the kids. I think it was totally waste due to the kids break them. We couldn't go to the family for Easter due to Emma has a pink eye. I don't even know how did she got it from. Last week, we are pretty much staying home all week. Derek recently mowed the lawn so we couldn't hide the eggs and I don't want them to eat too much of candies. Plus waste of money too. So we did do dyed the eggs instead. I think dyed the eggs are fun. The kids love it. Sometimes it stresses me due to the dyed messy. After we dyed, I made the devil eggs with avocado instead the mayo and more healthier. I used the organic foods. I like the taste of it. Yes, I wore the Christmas apron. Lucky, the blue ones was splash on over me. Yay apron. 

I'm knitting a brioche cowl. I started it last night. Because I only have one project: baby blanket with over 400 stitches. It'll be up to 816 stitches. I knit two rounds a day due to about 2 hours total of two rounds worth of knit. So I want to start a small project. I love knitting so much. I couldn't live without it. So I used in two colors. Purple/grey with minty. The yarns: Lorna's Laces Honor. 70% baby alpaca 30% silk. It's little light than called for. I wanted to use up my yarn stashes. I got this yarns by mistake. I ordered for Lorna's Lace Sportmate but they sent me the wrong ones but I don't bother to replace because hey, it's alpaca!  So soft! I am using Clover Bamboo circular needle due to my loose gauge. Metal is not ideal for my gauge with this project. Too slippery and very loosely stitches. Bamboo wood is better and more sturdy for my project. I'm using 2.75mm with 16 inches circular. 

A Moment

A moment of animal day at American West Heritage Center. I want to pause and savor the memories in this time. 

🐥🐥🐓🐓💐💐❤️❤️

Welcome Spring of April.

I'm happy to see the spring colors. The trees are blooming. My tulips are growing nicely. My lawn is outgrown and needs to be mowing. My tiny vegetables garden are growing as expected and nicely. 

I took Emma to Claire's to get her ear lobes pieced once again after they were closed due to infected. She got Elsa earring. Of course, she was terrified. I held her and told her it'll be quickly. So she trusted me and got pieced and she was like in shocked after the ladies put them in. Feel like a flu shot. 

I love the bathroom quote. Derek and Wyatt are always not being too carefully. I have to mop occasionally. Oy, what a joy to have the boys. 

I just saw this drink Coffeeberry and took it to buy it. It's yum. It's konared Hawaiian. 

I showed to Derek about being sweetheart and smartass. He agrees but I disagree because I'm only sweetheart. He said no, you are both sweetheart and smartass. Well, it's true, I always give him a hard time because I really love him so much. He was laughing when he saw this quote and made me love him even more. We are madly in love each other since 10 years together. Can you believe this it been 10 years since 2005?! One year of boyfriend/girlfriend and 9 years of marriage. 

Derek is getting his tattoo like a picture above on his upper arm. 

I finished knitting a baby sack for Keisha and it's ready for her and we found out they're having a baby boy. 

I love the coffee quote. Espresso and depresso, mmm I agree it. Without it, I'll be lazy and sleep all day. Coffee is only helping me to keep going on. 

I just cast on a second pair of sock for Derek yesterday. Today, I'm almost halfway to finish. 

Don't we love the good inspired quote? I do. 

Yesterday, I feel quite stressed and I ate a whole of chocolate pie from village inn which is that I normally don't tend to. My wine are run out. Oops, ahem. I need to go to Idaho to buy more. We are live about 20-30 minutes away from Idaho. 

I can't want to smell fresh air in spring flowers. 

Enjoy the lovely spring. We will be dyeing our eggs soon to welcome the spring. 

Spring Break

1- Next week is spring break in Cache Valley. We are planning on go to the animals day at American West Hertiage Center on Thursday, April 2nd. We are excited about it. We want to hold the baby chicks.

2- I did do my hand nails with gel bright purple as for spring colors. I did do on my toes nails into Easter colors. I did do on Emma, same the colors as mine. I, indeed, actually did do on Wyatt's hands nail blue with sparkle. Because his school is out for a week for a spring break. So why not. His nails blue won't last that long due to he is a rough kid.

3- I finished sock and I need to start a second pair ones. It's for Derek. It is perfect fits. I was so happy knitter. I am still knitting a baby blanket for Keisha. I am hoping that I will have enough of yarns. I am currently on a second section of a blanket. There will be a third section then add the lace edge. I want to start to knitting the brioche cowl. I just purchased the brioche knitting on Craftsy show. I got it for like 33% off from original $45.00 to $29.99. Hey, not all of Craftsy are pricey, but depend on what class you want to buy. The baby sack is almost finish, but I need to add little couple more of cm/inches rounds.

4- I purchased the Apple TV. I LOVE it! I love AirPlay. The newest Roku is in the family room downstairs with the brand new TV. Also I bought a Blu-ray and DVD two-in-one player. I ordered a lot of Lush bubble bars and bombs for me, Derek, and the kids. The kids love to play with it. Derek love bomb. I prefer bubble bar. I learned about the lush box that they shipped to me that inside of the puff thingy to protect the soaps from breaking is potato starch, so I planted them into my garden. I even did gave a little piece to my piggy Reeses. It's shrinking once when you water them. I was shocked. It's recycle thingy for Lush company to protect the enivorment of earth. I like it.

5- Last week on March 17th, we got our brand new tattoos. Interesting experience for us. Why yes, it's painful. Mine is hits the nerve in the middle of it on my left calf above ankle. Derek told me, it little pain for him on his left arm. But we love it. Derek wants more. I said go ahead, I want more yarns. Ahem.

6- We recently went out for our hike in Logan canyon. It was so beautiful! We even went up higher to played with the snow in Tony Grove. I miss snow.

7- I am happy that we are going to eat at Blue Bird tomorrow. Derek is not a big fan of it. It's Derek's grandma's birthday, so we are celebrating at there. I like Blue Bird restaurant and the old building.

8- Well, I am taking off now, and watching Craftsy and making the dinner. Take care!

Shetland Wool

I finished this hat yesterday afternoon. I am glad it's done. Not like I am tired of this. It's just finally it's finished because I started over again due to my miscalculated math. So I used this size in 2.25mm instead of 3.00mm. I still cant get my gauge right accord to the pattern so I used the smaller size needles. After I blocked it, it fits. That's relief.

I used the swatches of this pattern from my stupid gauge as a pin saver for my sewing. I love this yarn. It's from Shetland in Scotland. It's Shetland 100% wool. It's sticky yarn. This yarn is valuable to me. Like it's value to the people in ancient time. I was randomly picked the colours but somehow they are looking good together. I do really love Shetland wool yarn from Jamieson's in Scotland.

Skeeter

I found out yesterday that my dear Yorkie/Chihuahua dog passed away on February 26 evening at my parents' barn in the backyard. My dad called the dogs to come in for the night. Only Lucky the pug and Gunner the black lab came in. No skeeter. So He went out to looked for him. He found Skeeter laying next to the barn. Gunner tried to move him but he wasn't moving at all. So my dad tried to move him. Nothing happened. So He knew that Skeeter is gone. So my dad put Skeeter in a box and buried him in the backyard. My family had a good crying together. My mom forced my dad to tell me because they knew that Skeeter is so special to me. I love Skeeter. I have always so excited every time I visit to my parents and played with Skeeter. I hope that Lucky will be OK for a while because Lucky and Skeeter are "married together". I was bawled yesterday after I found out about it. Derek and my guinea pig comforted me. He is about 12 years old. He had an arthritis in his legs. I knew it's getting closer time to go. You will be miss terribly! I love you, Skeeter. RIP with Shadow the yellow lab. You are welcoming to walk around in my house with your spirit body dog. I really wanted to squeeze hug you so badly. I will always remember you and Shadow.

Today's Story About Everything

Right now, I am drinking a second cup of coffee. Without it, I will be sleeping on a couch in living room all day until Wyatt comes to home from school, which is that's not good. Waste the half of day. Emma will do something trouble while I am snooze off. So I am thankful for coffee. Coffee is only keeping me going on daily than being snooze and lazy. I can see the difference between them.

I agree it. Well, it's true.

I rarely took selfie of me. Because I don't like to see myself. I am not model or addict to mirror or something like that. So here you go....

I also don't do high maintain such as straight my hair but I was in mood to do it to see what I look like. I was drinking coffee. Outside was practically summer, so I wore a tank top. I like this photo.

I want to keep post of my Reeses the guinea pig. She's so cute. I couldn't resist it. I noticed that she is more trusting with us and comfort with us like a kid in a foster family. I couldn't imagine if I give her away and she will have to start over again with the new family. So she is staying with us until she goes to heaven. I love her personally, almost like a cat.

Now I am knitting: Tam hat, socks for Derek, baby kicking sack bag, and just started on baby blanket for Keisha, my sister in law. She's expecting due in July 2015. When I started knitting this, I had the yarns that was so fine fingering weight and it's too light and lace so I don't like how it was turned out. So I went to my LYS and bought these and they are much better. They are Cascade Sport weight superwash merino.

I wanted to show you what Utah's weather looking like in February that which is not normal for Utah in February. It's really practically summer, I am telling you, it is summer!

Yesterday, I caught this from Emma. So freak cute! She snapped at us to be shush that her babies are sleeping on her bed in her room. I can't help, she is so &*$% cute and I love her so much. And yes I knitted the afghan for my son.

My old neighbour gave me this from her new house. I love antique stuff. This is old, broken, and little dirty paint shelf. Next to my favorite wood stove fireplace. I love the quote of You Are My Sunshine. I was trying to find You Are Loved but I couldn't find it in Hobby Lobby. I love this store!

But I ended up bought this. I took all the religious down, we are no longer religious anymore. I like it better without it. Quote is good.

Ok. That's our story now. Now our weather in Utah is cloudy. It's supposed to be snow tonight to tomorrow. We will see. But I rather sun shine. Sometimes cloudy makes me depressed. At least, yesterday was so perfect weather. It's 61 degree F same as in Miami weather yesterday. Miami was 60 degree F. I can see the little storm on top of our mountain. Ohhh! a plane is so closer on our neighborhood and Emma heard it. It's scared me. It's like small plane, not like 2 people small plane. Probably like 60 people on that plane size. You know what I am talking about. I can see it swoosh and turn on low height feet. We do have a small airport here. Probably problem and need to have an emergency landing. I guess.

My Work

I found this on my Pinterest. I think that is funny. I showed to my mother, she thinks it's gross. Well, we need to open minded. Derek thinks it's funny. We can't do it together, I can't see what am I knitting and Derek is too big for me to wrap around my arms on his body. It will be too awkward.

I finally finished crocheted jump dress for the long range planning box. Like it's storage box and waiting for the right person to give away like a Christmas gift. If Keisha is having a baby girl, I will give this to her. I use Sheep(ish) Vickie Howell but now it is Bernat yarn. I wanted something is soft and loose yarn. Not too stiff like red heart that I absolutely hate it. Merino yarn do sometimes stiff too. So single ply yarn is good for this project. Also I like their colours.

My mother gave me the knitting stitch markers last Christmas. Unfortunately, I lost them. I was sick and my mind was dead. I must be threw away by accident. It was bothering me. So I went to the Jo-Ann and bought the beads and stuffs to make them. But see that I don't make it looks professional but I am practicing. I have used my old earrings into stitch markers and it's look more professional but I do want to show my handmade stitch markers too. So I can tell which ones that are homemade than store purchase. Sorry my table is making you dizzy, it's valentine month.

OK, now I am currently knitting a baby kick sack for Keisha. I used leftover sock yarns.It will be multiple colours. I loved it with my kids when they were babies but it came from the store. Yes, I wish I started knitting when I was a teenager but no time for that due to peer pressure. And I still knitting on tam hat. I ripped off because it won't work with decrease round for crown shaped so I started over again with 1.50mm, 40cm Addi needle circular.

PS, today's weather is cloudy. Still no snow. Yesterday, it was 65 degree F. I admited it was beautiful weather. I tweeted to NWSSaltLakeCity weather and asked what went wrong and they said that "the high pressure has kept the jet stream north of us. Climatology says that may change as we head toward spring. Sure hoping so!" My mother said it might will be snow in May. He he. I feel like that winter is missing. I need to put a post alert missing named Winter. Currently, it feels like it's spring now. Cursed.
