Last night finally I got some time to crochet a rose on Alla's purple hat. It's too plain to begin with. I found a pattern online but it didn't say what think a yarn to use and how big the crochet hook is, therefore I just try to make one by what I have. The rose is a little too big, I think, but this will be a good memory to make this and next time I will just adjust the size of hook and yarn. No matter what, this is my very first flower I crochet and I love it. <3 <3

Recently I have been making wash clothes for my sister in law. Then I crochet more for my shop. It can be used as dish clothes, face scrub, baby wash clothes, table clothes, dishrags. The yarn I am using is 100% cotton yarn. It's very sturdy and colorful. It's easy to clean, and hang dry. I am feeling making art because each piece that I produce is different. The pattern and color are the same, but it turns out forming differently, kind of like giving a few kids with same color pen but each one draws different things. :) I feel so young of doing that because it's like I am doing art like I was in my high school age, good times, good times! :P

I made Alla new dress last night. She is happy that she got this new dress and she demanded to take pictures this morning under the sun. She also asked about going outside. Alla: mama, it's 65F outside, I can wear this sundress and it will be nice to lay down on the grass. Mama: gal, the grass is all wet from the rain! Alla: please please please.. Mama: You sound like the other girl I have! *sigh*.

I made this purple hate for Alla when Evie and Katie were taking a nap. The hat is a little plain and simple, I think I need to add a flower on it, or at least something!! Well.. when the time I finished this hat, it was time to cook dinner and woke up my angels, there fore I couldn't do anything with it yet. Evie is getting jealous of me playing Blythe dolls and not playing her Barbie dolls with her. She saw Alla's hat and said " Mommy, I want one too". I said "Ok, I will make one for you Barbie", then she is satisfied. :) The very first day I got my dolls, these are the conversations I had with Evie Me: Look! I got new dolls. Evie: Mommy, let me see (usually means she want to hold it) Me: Evie, you got to be careful, these are expensive, you can't play with it, it's not for you to play. Evie: but Mommy why? Me: These are for mommy, not for you, you got your Barbie dolls. Evie: I share my Barbie dolls with you. You got to share, mommy! (it's a payback for me cos we have been telling her to share her toys with Katie) Me: Evie, I can't share this with you, it's really expensive. Evie: why not? I share my toys with you, you share yours with me. (OUCH) Me: Ok, you can pull the string here, okok, not too hard here, be careful.... ......

Finally I broke down and got myself 2 gals! Now my family has 4 girls together! 2 from my own, 2 from adoption! :) I feel so good to have them in my house finally. They spent new year eve and new year day together in NYC post office, poor things. Now Alla and Lillian finally save at home!
