back to knitting
although i have no pictures to show you (4 baby hats and one sock). i had grand plans for this week, but with it being a short week and all i am quite behind in what i set out to do. so the stuff that could wait (blogging, knitting pics etc) will.
i am living in a bit of a mess right now. i finally bit the bullet and am having nearly the rest of the condo done up with laminate flooring to match my kitchen, dining and living rooms. i needed to do this. it will make me SO happy. i can finally start decorating my bedroom and won't have to look at the ugly, cheap carpet the previous homeowners put in. and it will be a snap to clean! yeah!
of course that means pulling up carpet, patching sub flooring and pulling off lots of carpet tack strips. it also means purging all the items i haven't used in over a year which in turn led to the idea of an impromptu garage sale this weekend (reminder to self, print signs, post on craigs list). said garage sale items along with all closet contents are piled high on the dining table and floors. place is a m.e.s.s. which is very hard for me to live with even if it is only for a week.
bedroom design ideas are spinning around in head. finally settled on look although have yet to purchase much of anything for it. let's just call it modern glam? i fell in love with designer's guild in uk (too lazy to link) and will be using that for inspiration although not quite as dramatic. i recently met a friend who is an interior designer so she is going to get me in to the design center to take a peek at the designer's guild line. i hope to really get moving on the design in the next few weeks, i am starting from scratch besides my california closet stuff from target so i have a lot to do.
that being said, i need cash. so look for some major destashing starting later this week or early next week. purging took place in the yarn dresser as well my friends. yikes! i have put a major stop to the yarn buying. i will also be working on a fall line of stitch markers and necklaces.
i should confess though that i did purchase yarn last weekend (with a store credit, but i would have bought it anyways). it went straight on the needles so it can be justified. it is the new kaffe fasset regia sock yarn (probably just destroyed the spelling of name but again to lazy to link). it is stripey fabulous. and although regia is on my too itchy list i am hoping i can break it down a bit with some conditioner and washing.
ok, sorry for the totally blubbering post. also too lazy to go back and edit. what you see is straight from my head to keyboard today friends.
have a good one, hope to check back with you soon.
