Since it is Friday here is some Eye Candy
Another lily, I seem to be on a roll, but there are so many beautiful lillies in bloom right now.
but it is creative. We decided to renovate the kitchen. It all started with the desire to have a clean refrigerator inside and out. I was cleaning behind the kitchen. There I spied the corner of wall paper was dog-eared. It is behind the fridge, no body will see it, I’ll just rip off the loose end. The whole wall came down. Ok. Let’s take down the wall paper. Well now that the wall paper is down, let’s paint the walls. Well since we are painting the walls anyway, lets go ahead and move some appliances…and build some cabinets.
And here we are working on renovating. The work is going well and we hope to have it done by this weekend.
Here are some pictures:
Here are the doors and drawers that have been wood puttied and ready to be sanded and painted
well sort of, kind of, mostly.
I haven’t been doing a lot of fibery stuff, and there is that small issue of I really do way too much. After doing way too much I feel a bit like a piece of blackened toast. I’ve spend most of the summer re-prioritizing. I’ve come up with a plan (which is in a nutshell, I’m going to do the things that I have already committed myself to, but not take any new projects on board).
To celebrate my glorious return to blogging here is a bit of eye candy, for Eye Candy Friday, of course.
I finally got the yarn for the Hogwarts Sock Swap. This is my third swap partner. I probably procrastinated longer than I should have, but I wanted to make sure this person was not going to bale. I have an idea for some snake inspired socks. In my research I found a really nifty pattern here
.
This is vintage, I mean really vintage. These beautiful flowers were taken with a camera with film (because digital wasn’t invented yet), made into a slide, enjoyed by many in the family slide show evenings, sat in a basement for a number of years then I scanned the slide, bringing it into the digital age for all of you to enjoy. I believe, but don’t hold me to this, that this particular slide was taken just around the time I was born by the husband’s grandfather, who has so many beautiful photos.
I’ve found a new game. It’s online, it’s free, it’s fun, it’s really addictive. You have been warned. It’s called Puzzle Pirates. The reasons I started were simple: Puzzles are supposed to keep the mind sharp and my lovely sister-in-law said it was cool. What can I say I’m easily led astry. So as I’ve been playing this I’ve been thinking about all kinds of piratical knit wear to make. The idea that I am most likely to make is a red a white stripey hat. But scarves, socks even mittens in pirate themes with lots of stripes and black with skulls and crossbones keep popping into my head. But then there is also the motifs from the Pirates who don’t do anything. The possibilities are endless wa ha ah.

Still looking for my card reader.
My card reader that is. The reason for my silence lies in frustration. I cannot find the card reader for my camera. I have so many great pictures and can’t show them to you. I am very sad. I’ll keep looking though.
