Over this last weekend, Laurie really has put in some hard work into making our new place more like home. The kitchen is almost ready to be moved into - shelf paper needs to go into a few more cabinets and the pantry before we can move dishes into it. The second bedroom looks great, there are shelves in the closet and some of the boxes of craft stuff have been put away. The living room furniture has been moved in, to see if it all fits before we spend money to refurbish the pieces we want. We're both in love with the sofa and chair set we got off of craigslist. And our friend Paul came over and put together our grill for us! I think since it's been working, every dinner we've had since has been out on the grill :). So that's these next few pictures...
The wood work on our new sofa and chair.
The second bedroom (guest room/knitting/spinning/Heather's room)
One of the new chairs on the far right, it's match is in the living room right now but will be with it once everything is reupholstered.
The living room. We are reupholstering the sofa and matching chair as well as my recliner (which is oh so chic with the sheet over it right now...) If you look closely, you can also see the new computer table between the recliner and the sofa chair.
We got a beautiful orchid plant for my bathroom, one of the buds just opened.
In knitting and spinning news, my hedgehog still needs to be felted. I think that we're going to try to do that at my mom's house because she has a top loading washer and that's the best for felting. I've spun up one of the Barbara's buns that I got. It's still on my new spindle and because the new table is not out yet, I haven't taken a picture. (I might have to break down and take one.) I'm trying to spin furiously to finish off another ounce to be plied by friday for our expressions in spinning group. We'll see if that happens :). I'm expecting Mandy to come over pretty soon here, which I'm excited about because she hasn't been in the shop in awhile. Off to try to finish off that project...
