Ta-Da Moments

I am happy to reveal my newest design as you go knit. The Angled Modular Vest. I was planning on long sleeves but I tried this on with a Tee and it looked just right as a vest, and now I think I will be making a bunch of vests instead of long sleeve sweaters for this season. But after saying that, here is that finished long sleeved Pacific Grove pullover in cotton/acrylic that would work just fine in warmer weather, with cool nights.


For the last week we have been talking about moving the big queen sized bed out of Dave's loft bedroom and trading it for the twin guest bed. Yesterday was our moving day. It took some time to disassemble the fourposter, as Dave had painted it and reinforced it with screws that were painted in so well...it was a job, just let me say. Finally we got it into the guest room assembled it and noticed in the brighter light of that room that it needed another coat of paint, so out came the brush and paint. Phew. It was an all day project, but the results are so satisfying. I am sure our guest room has just turned into a family cuddle spot, with a TV at the other end of the bed.

Yes, it is exactly the same paint that is on the walls. The quilt that was on that wall came down and now I have a really big space to fill with new artwork. Ha!

I went out to the garage shelves and found a comforter and bedspread, and was happy to play house for a while. After shooting these pics, the Dawgs and Squeaky Duck jumped right up, showing their approval of this arrangement.


Dave got his heart's desire, more space for his guitars, speakers, and  amplifiers etc. We are both getting the kind of bedrooms we always wanted. Mine is super girly and his is all boy. He will get one of the new quilts from this summer, a matching headboard recover (the pink will be retired) and maybe curtains.

Call Orkin!  We have bed pugs!
