What An Exhausted Month!!!

Poor Emma! This month is bad for us. Emma fell and hit on a pantry's door's hinge while she was helping her daddy to make ramen for lunch, somehow Wyatt pushed a chair where Emma was standing and she fell. We went to InstaCare. She was very calm. But Wyatt is goofy around the room.

 Wyatt loved to play with a wheel chair. He won't to be still and quiet, oh well.

 During her staples in the back of her head. She cried. I couldn't hold her, it's so painful for me. I am glad that Derek came along with us.

 She has 3 staples. It's look like a "V" wound.

Again... Poor Emma!!

 She fell off from a tub's curb. She was just slipped when she tried to get out of the bathtub. It's huge cut.

 So we took her to the ER because InstaCare was closed at 8 PM. Again, she was calm too.

 Again, Wyatt still being a goofy boy. He looks like a duck. Ha ha. Good memory of Wyatt's goofy.

She had to wore the blue thing to hold her. She had 4 stitches. Wyatt and I went out of the room into the hall while the doctor did do thingy to her with her daddy. She was also cried that made Wyatt cried so I took him out and walk around in the ER. 

She had been in ER in less one week. She fell and hit on hinge then about 4 days later, she fell onto a tub's curb. Oh boy. Now so far, she is fine. She hasn't fell anything just yet. What a bad luck week! 

PS, poor me,

Because I have been thinking for 2 months about an adopted dog. We adopted a shih tzu dog, she was VERY NOT HAPPY to be with us. So I took her back to the shelter. Whew. She bit Derek. I have been looking for a dog breed: Yorkie. We almost buy the cat but I think twice so I decided not to. Because I realized that we will have to buy cat food AND litter. Dog is little easy because just to buy a dog food. I smelled litter in the shelter, Whew, stink!

I have been anxiety attack, depress attack, and worry attack. We want to buy dog's thing first then we will look it again. We do want a specific dog is Yorkie. We could have a Yorkie mix also. 

Last night, I saw Skeeter (my parents' Yorkie dog) was sleeping on a couch with a pillow to help him with his arthritis leg. I texted to my mom to warned her that DON'T to put him into sleep without my goodbye to him! He is 10 years old now. 

I told ya that this is EXHAUSTED month! I can't wait for March to come.

PPS, I am still knitting and crocheting. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Derek got me this a GIANT bear teddy! A heart quote "Be Mine". Aww, Thanks, Derek! I love you too. This is taller than Emma's height. I like the color brown/pink. I don't want the color: tan/red.

Have a Happy Valentine's Day! XOXO and be careful.

Hearts

 I wanted to make the hearts for Valentine's decorations for my house. My daughter loves to play and cuddle with a orange heart. This is really easy to make. Also very memorize pattern. I knitted them in two days. Wyatt wanted a blue little heart, so I knitted him one too. Emma has 2 hearts, pink and purple. I noticed that Emma like color pink. Wyatt like the varies of the colors.

I made this arch motif for my afghan. I think that's very different stitch looks. :)

Our New Pet

Yes, hamster!

 His name is Furball. Obviously, he's is boy.

I am keeping play with him since we bought yesterday. He's friendly and cuddle little fur. So far I am so happy with him. 

Tree of Life

I wanted a pair of mittens. I have a purple gloves that I made last year. Unfortunately it is too small for me. 

This reminds me a tree of life from Book of Mormon: Lehi's dream. Fruitful mittens. It's also good for me to keeping remind me to stay on a path forward to the tree. 

 A few post earlier about this yarn. I still have some left of this yarn. I don't want to throw away, waste my money and waste sheep's hair. So I am making a square motif from Robyn Chachula's book that I am planning to make a big blanket with many different of the motifs.

 This yarn is pretty expensive. I was surprised that this mittens are warm because of this soft merino wool. Outside in Cache Valley have strangest weather. My hands were frost bite. That's hurt.

Derek took the pictures for me. I finished this last night. When I was almost done with this project, I always wanted to finish this by tonight because I knew that there are a few round left to done. I don't want to finish in the next day. Unless if I am super, super tired then I will finish in the next day.

A Big Pink Felted Purse

Ta-Da! Finally, it took me 3 months to finished this. I was off and on on this project. I did tried to put on the ring (metal) but I couldn't do it. So I decided to sew on the round, that works well. I bought the handles from Jo-Ann. I like the finish looks, so I added the big buttons. I love it.

My Current Project

 I bought the Araucania Toconao yarns back in 2009. They have been sitting in my basement for 3 years. I did find varies of the patterns with that yarn but not good until I found this pattern. The yarns accepted.

 Fruitful Mittens...(It's remind me that this looks like a fruit tree of life) Lately, Cache Valley have a weird weather temperature now. It's too bitter COLD! I can't let my kids go outside and play.

Of course, I do swatch for my gauge check. I bathed a swatch in a lukewarm water. Before and After blocked a swatch is affected.

For My Front Door

 March, St. Patrick wreath.

 February, Valentine's wreath.

April, Easter wreath.


I wanted the different wreath every month. I think that's fun to do. They are good deal from Jo-Ann. So, why not?

I wanted to buy the wood board and paint then create a monthly quote, for example: Let It Snow for January. Be Mine for February. Happy Green for March.... etc.... I want something fun in my house than bored and empty.

You Know It's Cold When Degree Drop....

Oh my! It's unusually to see that icicles on our roof all the way from end to another end. It's very long and thick icicles. Whew. I feel like we are in jail because we can see icicles bars by our windows. This winter season is strangest! Lately, we have been through below 0 degree. BRR! We are still keeping warm inside our house so far. The kids wanted to go outside and play, I told them no because too freeze outside. The kids were sad. Also we have a bad air too. Derek's blue car was frozen too while he was at his work overnight. My van is sleeping in my garage to keep my van warm, yes I am giving my van a mercy.

Blue and Purple

Finally! They were in the store now. I love the colors. My mom said that is great idea to have 2 of them to less fight about who's turning. Also it's good for me too. I don't want to buy a big trampoline. I am happy that they have fun time together.
