So the furniture arrived around 3:45 yesterday and I immediately got to work on assembly.  Here’s what the room looked like before assembly. That’s 500 pounds of fine furniture, if you include the mattress that was on the other side of the room.  Look at all these little parts, and that was just for the … Continue reading →

I’m staying home today because we are having bedroom furniture delivered by IKEA!  I realize that IKEA is not thought of as a furniture store that delivers, but they do when you order a whole room full of it.  The thing is, if it gets here in time, I’m going to try to start putting … Continue reading →

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they don’t match.  Picky picky.  These are the two socks now awaiting a mate due to the dreaded second sock syndrome.  I finished my first jaywalker sock yesterday.  They had stalled about halfway through, making it even better to finally finish one.  I was a good little knitter and cast on for … Continue reading →

I haven’t really been participating in Project Spectrum, but I have enjoyed seeing what other people have discovered as they have emphasized certain colors.  I guess it’s just rubbing off on me because tonight I looked around in my sewing room and everything around me seemed to be blue.  It started with the blue on … Continue reading →

So, I can’t resist the temptation to tell you about my latest project, which means I’m going to have to trust my friends (only the ones who it needs to be a secret to) NOT to click on the extended entry.  If you are one of my friends from college (and your name is Jennifer, … Continue reading →

We had a situation at work yesterday (and I will leave it at that, so as not to blog about work), that caused my co-worker and I to start with "What If’s".  It was a rolling ball of muddy "What If’s" that got bigger and bigger and rolled faster and faster the longer we "What … Continue reading →

So, I’ve got another secret project going, and I can’t decide how much I’m going to tell you about it, making it necessary for me to distract you from the lack of crafty blog content. I will tell you that my secret project involves sewing and some element of quilting, and has nothing to do … Continue reading →

We got off to a great start this weekend.  This morning, we woke up and lazed around a bit, and then got on the bikes and headed for the library about twelve miles away from the house.  It’s been a long time since I went to a regular public library.  I’ve been in school for … Continue reading →

Shortly after I returned from Maryland Sheep & Wool, I received the Mason-Dixon Knitting book in the mail.  Even before I received the book, log-cabinning had commenced.  This week was all about Mason-Dixon Gifting. For Mother’s Day, I made my mother-in-law two dishcloths and grouped them with some fancy hand soap for her kitchen.  I … Continue reading →

It’s a good day!  I got some unexpected time off work today, returned some clothes and got more money back than I thought I would, and got to go out to eat with the husband for lunch.  This afternoon, I will go out with some friends to celebrate my Master’s Graduation…all in all, a great … Continue reading →
