There’s actually been a LOT of progress on our new house since I last wrote about it, but I’m waiting for areas to be “finished” to talk about them. But there’s one room I can’t wait on – my office! After a fair amount of trouble and strife, we got my mural wallpaper up! Now… Continue reading House Progress
Same two projects as last week, but a bit more progress 🙂 The first door curtain is done, and I’ve got a little start on the second one. I was debating free-forming the “pattern” on the second one, but decided to try to make it more or less match the first one. So #1 won’t… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs

With my Halloween Cats sweater done, I’m focusing on two smaller projects before jumping back to a bigger one. The first is a pair of Latvian mittens for my Mom for Christmas.

If you are not familiar with the doodle patterns, they are a set of interchangeable designs that can be used for cowls, hats, and a variety of other projects. You… Continue reading FO Friday!
A little while ago, DH and I took our dream vacation to England. We spent most of our time in London, though we did venture outside for a few jaunts. We stayed at the Tower Hotel, which was right next to the Tower of London and the Tower bridge. The first thing we went to… Continue reading England! (picture heavy post)
Sorry once again for the long silence. But I had a good reason – DH and I took a week long trip to England! At Loop I got a kit to make a little shawl with tiny tassels, and some interesting yarn. I think the Ito yarn will be nice to carry along with other… Continue reading There and Back Again
