I've not been idly losing time, oh no. I decided I needed to paint my living room. And well if I paint the living room then I need to paint the stairwell...three flights of stairwell....yahh right!
What started out as a simple paint job very quickly turned into an ordeal, then a major project. "Well if you're going to do it then do it right and paint the trim" Not really planning on that. and then, "Oh you should get six panel doors for in here" yah...didn't plan on that either. Plus I planned on hiring someone to do the stairs since the ceiling is like 25 high! "Oh no we can do this!" Well we did and it looks great, minus the fact that my hand rails aren't up yet and I have quite a bit of touch up to do around my new doors/frames. Painting, yah...not so much a fan...I now need a vacation from my vacation!
Brodie spends a lot of time doing this...
I got this far on my jacket, ready to start the body on sleeve #two when I realized I was making something I will never wear, it is two big and....
Oops! It has a big boo boo on part #1 right at the begining of the body where I missed several stitches and had a big hole.
So I ripped out sleeve #2 and stashed the whole damn thing back into the closet.
Impluse knitting!
I made this hat and scarf in a twisted drop stitch pattern. In the time honored fashion of winging it without a written pattern.
Thanks for hanging in there with me.

So good to hear from you! Glad your doing good. I painted our whole house and not a fan either..inside and out...still need to do the trim on the outside and window trims on the inside and need to paint the well house....always stuff to do! Take care and don't work to hard!
Wow, it has been too looooong. It's great to have you and Brodie back.
Take a break from all that painting and join Brodie on the deck.
It was too long! I can't believe I let it go so long and not noticed. Oh believe me Nancy- I am enjoying my deck as much as possible. That is why the touch up work is not done yet...LOL
