Sadly, this is today’s progress. It was one of those days where we (I) thought we were going to get a TON done, and then everything ended up taking longer than expected. By the time we got up, made breakfast, called around to different Lowe’s to see if they had our panels, reserved [...]

We were originally going to try and go camping this weekend, but we couldn’t decide where to go, and we didn’t want to fight the crowds or traffic, and then we found out from our neighbor that we could start building our fence sooner than previously expected. (I really don’t know the details…. [...]

I think I overloaded WordPress. Let’s try this again!
I oscillate between making this solely a knitting blog and making this MY blog (thus writing about knitting and other crafty stuff I do, and then all the random miscellaneous stuff that happens to me in life). But the problem with making it just a knitting blog [...]

As I mentioned earlier we (he) cut a tree down this past weekend. This has been something we’ve both been wanting to do for YEARS now, but I don’t think either of us were really ready to take the plunge until just recently.
When I first moved in to the house, this tree was more of [...]

We remodeled our kitchen a couple of years ago (gutted it, replaced all the appliances, built an island, and installed new cabinets) and for the most part I LOVE IT!!! We have a spice drawer which I LOVE, I have my own baking drawer, we have 3 drawers devoted to utensils, but we had no [...]

We rearranged the furniture in our house last weekend, and “yarn stash organization” was one of the HUGE improvements that resulted from that effort. (That “2-day effort,” mind you. We moved our bedroom into the den, and vice versa.) We had had our bedroom in the “den” because it was the smaller room (and we [...]

Yesterday I uploaded even more photos I found on my hard drive to Flickr. I still hate the way it automatically updates your photostream with all your most recently uploaded photos and doesn’t allow you to change this.

A while back I posted about some wall art that I’d eventually like to have in our bedroom. This is more along the lines of what I was thinking…. it’s from a local Thai restaurant by work. The whole interior of the restaurant is beautiful…. especially considering it’s in a strip mall! It’s all very [...]
