empty drawer!
with my ikea purchases i was able to move my fabric out of the last drawer in my yarn dresser. you know what that means right? buy more yarn to fill it! so i did (even though the way the stuff is squished in the other drawers i should have moved some and relieved the pressure, but nope, i wanted new yarn).
bad picture, but another silky tweed (this one in grey), cotton chenille (flower washcloth) and blue sky bulky (this one is useless at 45 yds, but i had to have it). oh, i should mention this is stuff i got at 50% off.
ggh esprit. one of my fav yarns due solely to it's softness. i don't know what these are destined to be, but i am thinking pillows?
and finally some needles
i hadn't seen these kind before, but they were cheap and i won't need such huge double pointed needles very often. for now, the size 15's will be used on the felted bowls in the one skein book.
and as if new yarn wasn't enough...
yum!
i am now almost done with my branching out. up next is something for my place. maybe a pillow or something. we'll see. i have been surfing the internets looking for a new bed set and bedding. here are my top 2, what do you think?
bedding
bed one
bed two
my walls are a VERY bright green so I am going with chocolate brown and bright green. i found a bed at ikea as well that is CHEAP! but it is also very low and i have yet to decide if i want a low bed, i kinda like them higher...
anyhoo, i am off to knit for a bit before my gal pals come over for dinner and some tv.
oh, and did you notice dr. mcdreamy's voice on the life cereal commercials?? :)

I like bed number one. I love your new yarn. I need to find some sales like yours!
Hi, I read your blog occasionally. Where did you get the esprit yarn at 50% off? I'm moving to Seattle soon and would like to know where the sales was. Thanks! Duyen

Love the bedding! What great colors. You've done a FAB job decorating your place. Snaps to you!
I like Bed 1 as well. I don't know how you are planning to do the bedding but if you have any way to cover the legs (boxed bed skirt?) you could use risers to make the bed higher than it is right now. Just a suggestion.
voting for number 1!!
#1 bedding looks great!
we must share the same brain or something because right now, i have a brown duvet cover with a green blanket on top of it. however, i just bought a new duvet online this week so i'll be changing to something else with a bunch of colors in it. i am so jealous of your green walls, too.
i'll be a rebel -- i like bed 2 but bed 1 is very cool as well.
Chocolate brown with green will be lovely!
I LOVE bed 2 and damn do you have good taste!!
I love the bedding (and design public, although usually it's too pricey for me! lol).. and I am personally a fan of #2 bed. I like the low ones. we have an in between from IKEA...kinda low, kinda high (still tall enough to stash wrapping paper and some sleeping bags!). and I love the chocolate & green! our overall colors are chocolate, khaki, baby blue, and bright green.
oh and the yarn...jealous!
.♥.
I personally prefer bed 2, but would be afraid that it would be too plain. The advantage of bed 1 is a higher headboard and therefore more room to stack lots of great pillows and still see it.
I'm new to reading your blog so I don't know your taste well enough to give a definitive vote, but I hope this helps.
I like bed 1 best overall, but bed 2 best with the bedding you showed...
You'll have to show us a picture of your finished room!
