Sloggy bits

I'm knitting along. I have a wedding to knit a shawl for and dyeing to work on, but the knitting is at that part where I'm bored and none of my shows are on anymore. This is a very dangerous time. I could watch, "The Bachelorette."

"Danger Will Robinson, you're losing what's left of your mind!!!!"

With no known of power outages and work to do, I am praying the kids are all in school today. I can always  paint. Yes, I am allergic, but it's got to get done. Later today, I promise Formulary Update and photos of what I'm getting. I am making over as much as I can and spray paint is your friend.

I will have enough shelves at this place to put out all our books!!!! Also, Gene is going to build me a window seat. Okay, it's going to be a cat bench, but I'll take it.

When I show you the color for the room, no freaking. I will not be painting all walls that color and most of it will be hidden with pops here and there.

Floor: Kraft paper and nature paper. Laid today. Poly tomorrow

Spray paint long desk white.

Clean round table dad gave me and touch it up. Use it in the middle of the room for a work table.

No wall. Too permanent, in case we want to pull it and I will not have a good enough way to hear the kids. Instead it's Ikea to the rescue.

I also get to plant grass seed and sig for another flower garden for wild flowers this week. Oh, and wash the deck...This is starting to sound busy.

Walls a Navajo White, which is a warm white in semi gloss. Stains MUST come up. Well cleaned and primed (That is taking me the longest).

No screaming, this is my studio, most walls will be white with black furniture. This is my accent color.



This is from the Olympic Site and it's what I've dreamed of, only with silver, not gold.

The rest of the house is getting calm with lots of white and accent walls in this:



It's blue, but not typical.

Ikea Furniture. Yes, you can build this yourself, but I want it this century.

This will act as a room divider and there will be two back to back.

Desk change up. Yes, it's Ikea, no it will not last forever. I just need function right now.

This is the table my dad gave me. It's got great bones, but dad does not know how to clean and he's been doing his work on this table for as long as I can remember. It's a mess. It's also Knoll, so worth a restore. My kids, kids will use it. 

I have a desk chair, I want a comfy chair for my spinning wheel, this birthday. Music provided by, I don't know. Computer speakers?

I’m working. Not that you can see, but things are coming along. I have several colorways for yarn that I adore and are repeatable. Now, if ...
