home, sweet home

I'm still having trouble uploading my pictures, but sarah snapped a few pictures of my new place, so i thought i would share. Seth and I just moved from a 2200 sqft house we shared with my other sister (not my lovely co author) into an 800 sq ft duplex.... its hard fitting everything, but to quote my favorite man on television, we're making it work.

here is the "charming" (read small) kitchen. Thats it, to the left of the cabinet there is the back door, which opens onto a tiny deck with the utility closet....

the back door....

the little porch with the utility closet, i dont really like the idea of having to take my clothes outside, but i suppose i will get used to it...

well, thats all the house photos i'll bore you with today, i have tons more to show once i get my camera to work again. Hopefully i can do some before and afters soon to once we have everything settled in.

spring break? not for this girl

Instead of a nice relaxing, fun spring break, I get to move! Oh the joy. Seth and I moved about 15 minutes from our last house to a duplex closer to school. The rent is way cheaper and the location is great. So it's a good move in that respect but still... moving sucks! I took a ton of before pictures of the new place and i'll be taking some afters once I get all of the curtains put up and everything set up. I've been working on organizing my new craft room too!

here is where i'm at with the pretty clementine shawlette

Mission Organization: It Begins...

I'm in love, and its name is Expedit! Today I bought the very big brother to the bookshelf i bought a couple of weeks ago. It is 6ft by 6ft with 25 compartments.  I was hoping to have more of my craft room cleaned up and put together tonight but this beast took quite a while to lug up the stairs, get it together, and then squeeze it into place. The bookshelf is 72.5 inches wide and the wall i put it on is 74.5 inches wide!

  I got this super fun, old fashioned candy jar this weekend too, and of course all of the fun valentine's themed candy. It will sit on my new shelf somewhere and help decorate my pink and brown craft room! (can you see the red, pink and white candy corn? love it!)

Knitting updates,
* wicked, i'm almost done with the first sleeve

* danica, 1.5 balls down, 1.5 balls to go
* spring cardigan, no progress
* new projects, am considering knitty's thermal

Mission Organization

Well, kinda. I'm really not a neat and tidy person, but i'm trying to become one! Seth and I bought a new bookshelf at IKEA yesterday and just set it up. So far theres not much on there, but its a step in the right direction. The white and black bag in the bottom cubby is an awesome soft-sided storage bin that i'm using to store some of my yarn. I'm going to try to get another one to put in the other cubby so i can keep all of my yarn in one spot, instead of in plastic bags all over my craft room and bedroom.

The roads finally thawed and i was able to buy the skein of yarn i need to finish my vest! I'm soo close i can taste it. Hopefully i'll have FO pictures before the weekend is over! Sad news in the world of viveka and my generic top down raglan, i'm pretty sure they are both going to be frogged and repurposed. I know there is no photographic evidence, but i had finished viveka's back and half of the front, but the more i stare at it, the more i think that i wont wear it. Its turning out really big, and the yarn is not nice enough to keep me going. The poor raglan is just wayy too big for me, if fits perfect from the neck to my underarms, but its huge around my bust, i'm not sure how to fix it, and i think i may have another use for the yarn......

Did anyone see Posie's blog the other day? She is working on a gorgeous afghan that i may copy! I haven't crocheted anything since the starshell blanket and i'm itching to crochet. These are the colors i have picked out, white, red, lime green, aqua and yellow. It will be bright, just how i like it!
