knitting.

with really giant needles and chunky yarn.

for my crafting day...

which is happening when? i'm not sure, but i do happen to have some pom pom trim lying around. and I LOVE THIS NECKLACE. so maybe the planets will align and i might actually find a whole day to devote to my growing list of make me projects? oh i do hope so, it's long over due.

{sort of directions from ps - i made this, found by way of p}

you have no idea.

i want a ceiling like this so badly i can nearly taste it, which is weird because what would a ceiling of lights taste like? i like to think ginger ice-cream.

kitchen inspiration.

so things on the home front are getting serious. we are actually planning a trip to the paint store, you know in a couple of weeks, when things calm down, will they ever calm down? first on our list is the living room, the green walls are garish and driving us both out of the room. second is likely the dining room, or bathroom, but then third MUST be the kitchen. it is going to be a serious undertaking. it is easily the worst laid out kitchen either of us has ever seen, and the counter tops are tile ... i will never understand why people think tile kitchen counter tops are a good idea. anyway THIS is what we need. nice and open and pretty and white.

cows.

today i am missing the cows we used to see every day. they used to eat our grass and let us know that it was time to wake up (even if we didn't want to).

today i am happy that we have the most perfect spot for a perfect garden that will be perfect for growing scrumptious tomatoes.

pictures i have found.

the other day i was sidetracked by a disaster that is a photo library. i spent a good two hours attempting to organize about 1/3 of my photos. it was fun. i found these two gems and thought i would share.

frances on the couch i will be re-covering this spring...

mas and i in iceland on our honeymoon (oh i want to go back...)

our front door.

i want, no NEED it to be this color. when we have time to paint (who's life am i living that i don't have time to paint!?) i am going to insist .. or plead, whichever works.

{door to this lovely's studio, yeah i'm a wee bit jealous}

can it be friday today please?

i know, i know it is only tuesday. whatever. happy tuesday.


ps - that's it, i'm caving and going to take a knitting class. it's bad enough with all of the cowls and wrist warmers and scarves that i cannot make ... you start throwing more than adorable little knit animals into the mix and i just can't take it anymore.
