本來很想寫得頻密一點，但天災人禍處處，家中的老人與小狗又進進出出醫院，日記都變了月記。感恩神的愛惜，天災與我們一家很近，我們卻沒有受影響，還懞然不知地補祝母親節偷快回家。 Continue reading

懷孕日記 － 首三個月的經歷
很久沒有寫網誌，因為實在太累了，完全提不起精神，每天都是睡、睡、睡。
2015年，本來是媽媽打算全力投入網店和博客生涯的新開始，畢竟雅虎網誌關閉後，就懶了下來。媽媽的起心肝，打倒隱藏在身心中多年的懶蟲和克服害怕失敗的憂慮，終於開了網店和自己的網頁，創作的一團火在熊熊燃燒的時候，突然發現家庭將有新成員加入，又驚又喜。結果，還未打理好新網站，就被懷孕荷爾蒙狠狠地擊倒，頭暈、作嘔、作悶、食慾不振和體力不支等等。 Continue reading
不幸之中的大幸
2015年1月10日 (星期六)
老爺奶奶帶我們去試一間快餐店,因為有大大杯Frozen Custard, 讓大家可以在同一地方吃甜品.薯條不錯,三文治一般,甜品的朱古力也不夠,有點失望.不過,估不到最失望的還不是食物,而是不負責任的人.
這是媽媽的免治三文治.
二公主點了熱狗.
飯後甜品時間,Custard好滑,但配料則一般.
媽媽一家周日留在家中,沒有踏出過家門.周一早上,送完大公主上校巴,赫然發現七人van被撞,心痛不已.回家後通知肥仔老公,再致電保險公司.由於肇事者不顧而去,我們要自付維修費.幸好,買了保障,否則要全數自付就更可憐.表面看來,只需要換外殼和重新噴油,但車行今天通知我們除了外在看到的問題,我的愛車還受了”內傷”,現正與保險公司協調中.看來,至少到下星期才有機會帶它回家.
雖然仍然一肚氣,令媽媽一直精神緊張,但仍很感恩我們一家人都不在車上,沒有人受傷.唯有安慰自己破財劏災.

Crochet Dress – dress it up or summer cover-up?
This is such a beautiful crochet dress, the first time I saw the picture online, I know I have to make one. I doubled up size 10 cotton thread for this beauty, it was such a labor intensive project, my hands were actually hurt for the repetitive motions after a few days. So, I ended up switching off to other projects back and forth, at some point I got too distracted, took me almost a year to finish it. It happens to me a lot, a project got finished in a few hours, a few days or it will be over a year. I hope I am not alone.
If some length and a few layers of ruffles were added, with a low cut at the back, it would be a nice wedding dress, so gorgeous. I can totally imagine a glowing bride wearing her loose wavy hair down, with some fresh flowers pin on one side right above her ear, put on simple and natural looking make up in a blooming courtyard or in a sandy beach with sunshine. How dreamy a wedding it will be?

4 Ways To Wear Chunky Reversible Knitted Hat (Unisex)
It was such a cold week in Texas, I couldn’t help myself but kept knitting and crocheting all sort of things. I love Winter but couldn’t help the physical needs to keep my body warm, my passion for yarns and fiber arts seem like a perfect match to my favorite season this time of year. For these cold days, I went straight to the chunky wool blend yarn with this rustic, earthy colorway to make my very first design knitted hat. This hat is stretchy and loose-fitting, comfortably fits me and my hubby (easy fits 22-26 inches head circumstance).
There wasn’t really a right side or wrong side of this chunky hat since it is reversible, I knitted with the star shape top facing, so let called it the unofficial right side.
Ways to wear the chunky knitted hat (click here for pattern):
1. Wear it with the ribs folded up, star shape (unofficial right side) on top. It would be super cute if wear with a long wool coat and loop a long scarf around the neck once. Oh, I am imagining the cute look.
新年展望
2015年,媽媽要努力加油,做一個更稱職的妻子和母親,更有效管理時間,嘗試更多不同的手作,看更多的中英文書,重新做回兼職博客,讓創意小宇宙發揮潛能,期望可以活出精彩的一年.
不知何解,過往的新年願望都只是世界和平,一家人健康,努力幫肥仔老公和自己減肥,這就概括了全部.
今年,媽媽有很多理想抱負,希望能盡力而為,為自己,為家人而努力.
去年,可能因為看到太多無能為力的心痛事,所以今年在自己能力範圍內,很希望當下就把事情做好,誰知道明天會變成怎樣,所以每分鐘都要活出真我.
最近,媽媽得知一位年齡相約,結識多年的朋友,她內外兼備,人緣極佳,剛與丈夫慶祝5週年結婚紀念,卻在事後發現他是一名負心人.看到她網上的更新,真的很替她難過,卻又幫不了甚麼.幸好她有家人在身邊支持,願她早日走出傷痛,向理想進發,在未來找到真正的白馬王子,從此幸福愉快.
這一年,將會有更多轉變,媽媽要開始作出心理調整,適應8個月後兩位小公主們齊齊上學的日子.孩子們長大得太快了,為她們發掘興趣和潛能之餘,媽媽也要更深入去了解自己,趁年輕去追夢,為實現理想而努力.
這一年,我們各自需要尋找新自我定位,努力活出新的身份和面對各種不同的挑戰.但願年尾回顧的時候,我們都有成長,在身心靈都有所得著.
突然有感,不要問誰是誰,只是發洩而已.
某某人,很重要又很愛你,但每每以自己的一套去愛你,從不自覺以傷害的口吻去令對方就範.對這種人,即使再愛也要保持距離,以免自己精神錯亂,身心受創.
某某人,透過日常生活,把對你的信任和支持都表露無遺,默不作聲卻替你安排籌備一切,讓你可以安心無憂的向前進發,叫你心感欣慰.
某某人,令你又愛又恨,能使你心情大上大落,讓你哭笑不得.但你每願意為這種人做牛做馬,任勞任怨,上刀山落油鑊也在所不措,因為無論如何你都愛定他/她.

7 Ways To Wear Arm Knitted Scarf
It is always enjoyable to knit with chunky or bulky yarn, the thicker the yarn, the faster the project get done. I thought of using my fingers and arm to knit years ago after I got new yarns and didn’t have any needles with me. However, I bought mostly worsted weight or sport weight yarn back then, fingers or arm would do me no good.
How to get this look is super easy, read on. If you want to purchase this scarf, click here.
Knit Lace Shawl (Caplet)
I love the look of a nice lace shawl but never knit one all these years. Oh, I missed out a lot. I guess there just wasn’t any occasion to wear a beautiful shawl in my life yet. Until last month, my mother-in-law found this gorgeous pattern on Vogue Knitting and asked me to make it for her, she even let me pick out any yarn to make it. Continue reading
2014大事回顧
2014年,我們家庭發生了很多大事,有喜有悲,各人都因而成長了不少.
奶奶病況:
病情一直反覆不定,時好時壞,不斷進出醫院的奶奶,經多次手術及療養,現在穩定康復中,極感恩.
太老爺:
身體每況愈下,11月離我們而去,返回天家,與太奶奶相聚.他是一個極慈悲的老人家,是他教導我隨心而為,做自己喜歡的事,不要為別人而活,喜歡的就多吃,吃不下就別勉強.同樣道理:吃東西如是,生活如是,做人如是.我會緊記教誨,快樂地活出精彩人生.
與太老爺相處的時間不多,但第一次見面,他待我如親孫女一樣,有如我已離世多年的親外公一樣的愛錫我,所以我很尊敬和愛惜他.他的離去,有如再次失去外公一樣的心痛.願他在天家得享安息. Continue reading
