Ear Flap Hat
This is my latest creation! I made it on a Kniffty Knitter hat loom. I got the pattern from this book. I’m going to try to make the bear hat that’s on the cover next!

Seattle Startup Weekend
Last weekend, we went to Google campus in Fremont for Seattle Startup Weekend 2. It was a really good time. There were 150 people there (including programmers, designers, businesspeople, lawyers, and others) all with the intention of creating and launching a business in the weekend. It was even featured on the news. To begin with, […]
Chinese New Year
Two weekends ago we headed downtown to join in on the Chinese New Year celebrations. There were so many people there it took us forever to find a parking spot. Right after we parked we passed by a few stores that were preparing for lion dancing. They were hanging up lettuce with red envelopes and […]
Mochi-tsuki
Last weekend we went to a mochi making festival on Microsoft campus! We got to see how mochi is traditionally made and we got to taste some fresh mochi! First the sticky rice is cooked in square wooden containers. After it is cooked it’s placed in a large “bowl” made out of stone. Wooden mallets […]
The Museum of Flight
We decided it was about time we got out of the house this weekend so we decided to go to Seattle’s Museum of Flight. It was a great museum. They had a section about space exporation (they even had moon rocks) and a gallery full of all sorts of airplanes. They had a second gallery […]

SHELOB!!!!
Well, we had a pretty frightening week. This past weekend we came home from Stake Conference and above our heads on the porch was the ugliest spider you’ve ever seen. It was super aggressive, jumping around and catching bugs. We decided we ought to get rid of it since we weren’t sure if it was […]
110 hats!!!!~~
Woooo-hooo! We met our goal is flying colors. As of today we have 110 hats. Last week we found out that the deadline for the hats is this Saturday so we had to crank it into high gear. We’ll be dropping off the hats in Seattle tomorrow 🙂 Wondering how tall a tower of 110 hats […]
Creme Bru-yum
A couple of weeks ago Jon and I bought this creme brulee torch. Our purchase was inspired by our desire for this seared tuna dish that they have at this local sushi shop. In the end, we we figured out how to sear our tuna in a pan instead of with the torch, but the torch […]
