Wingspan

I finished this shawl called Wingspan.
I really like the way it turned out even tho I used the inexpensive yarn. I probably will buy some yarn at my local yarn shop and make another one.

This will definitely be made soon in my house.

My Version of Hot Pot

I still had some left over rice noodles and I was craving the hot pot from the other night so this morning I boiled water and added some chicken bouillon, pickled Chinese mustard, chili oil and it made a great spicy tangy noodle soup.
When Ana got up I told her to use the soup still in the pot and add more noodles. Emma and Winnie made their own soup with seaweed and vegetables.

Arts and Crafts

I always have my guests do arts and crafts to keep them busy. Everyone seems to enjoy it. Winnie said that they have this in China but they never have time to do it because they are always busy studying. She said its very relaxing and that it makes her heart feel warm.

Thai Food

I had to confess to the girls today that I actually don't eat "American" food - that I prefer all ethnic food. So today was the first time that I took them out to eat and I took them to Thai Chili in Calimesa. It's my favorite place out here. They enjoyed the food.

Cupcakes

In keeping with the cupcake hat I had the girls make cupcakes that they took the next day to share with their friends. They said that they had never made cupcakes before.

Cupcake Hat

I don't know how or where I got the idea into my head about knitting a cupcake hat. These are a few snapshots I had on my phone but I'm just following my own pattern for now.

I saw this fun yarn at Joann's but it wasn't on sale. I think it will look really nice as frosting with sprinkles on my next cupcake hat.

So far so good.

Wow! This is soo cool! I like how it is coming out.

This is when I had to stop to make dinner. I can't wait to see how it looks.
