I just learned this stitch today on you tube and I absolutely love the way it is turning out.

Farrow Stitch Scarf
My friend, Yesenia, wants a scarf but she had no idea what color or style so I came up with this green one knit in farriw stitch and unfortunately I have to keep the cost down so I'm using Vanna White yarn.

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.

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. |
Chinese Dinner
Emma and Winnie wanted to cook a Chinese dish for us but unfortunately neither one of them knows how to cook. They watched a Chinese video and got cooking away with the ingredients we brought home from the market on Sunday.
Chinese Groceries
I took the girls to the Chinese grocery store on Sunday and they were so happy to see that many of their favorite items were there.
Arroyo #2
My sister, Martha came to visit from Texas and brought a lot of nice yarn so I knit her her very own first shawl just like the purple one that I made for my niece. I finished the bind off in the airport right before she got on her flight.
This is the final part of the lace! Yay! Now just some simple garter stitch and I can hand it over. |
Ta Daaa! I only had about 10 stitches or so to bind off and I did it at the airport right before she left. |

Silly Rabbits
This is the first year we have seen bunnies in both our front and back yards. Gustavo doesn't like it because they eat the flowers and grass and leave behind their bunny poop and lots of it. Today he was a rotten apple and three golf balls at them to scare them away.
