Chair progress...

I finished the cushion. Still not perfectly happy with it, but I managed to break every needle I have trying to get through it. Ohhh well. It will do for now! Now I just need to get the sides, back and bottom stapled on. Almost there!!

Felt Book Complete! :)f

Elliot's book is finished!!



Close ups:



















I think I'm in love with it :)

Pages in progress. I still need to finish the detail work on these:

New bike fixins :)

The latest additions to my bike riding

My pretty pink helmet (will eventually get some cute decals on it):



And my basket (can you see the mountains in the background? It's so pretty here...):



Isn't it cute? Just a plain ol' basket from Michael's, with ribbon hot glued on and secured to the handlebar with zipties.

New bike! New bike!

I've been using Jeff's old bike to get to work, but it just wasn't comfortable for me. Soooo, once our tax returns came in, we opted to get me my very own bike. Hooray!!

Sing with me now:
IIIII got a neeeeew bike! Iiiiiiiiiiit is a cuuuuuuuuuuute bike! :D

Full shots:




Closeups:
Cute leather seat. So comfy, and big enough for my bootie!


Main frame and front wheel:


Front wheel detail:


Back wheel details:




Detail of the bike seat:


And a cute little bell too! (We bought this separately)



Isn't it the cutest??? In case you can't totally tell, it's a pearly cream color and the pink accents are kind of salmon colored. I'm. In. Love!!!

Of course, it's ridiculously windy, so I didn't get to ride it like I wanted to when we got home. *sniff*

The tour!

From the outside:


Looking in from the front door:


From the door, going straight back. Entry, dining area (with the pillar) and the living room at the back.


From the entry/dining area, the kitchen is to the right:


Here's a view of the kitchen from the living room/back of the house:


It's a split floor plan, so our master bedroom is to the right:
(I like the double window. I think our bed will go there)


Then there's a pocket door that leads to the bathtub, with the vanity across from it. There's a doorway just past those that leads to the toilet with linen closet across from it. Then, there's another pocket door and our walk in closet:


This is what the vanities look like (there's a second bathroom just off of the living room, in between the two other bedrooms):


Ok...back to the left side of the house. From the entry, there's a doorway to the left with a small hallway. If you turn to the right in that hallway, there's a small bedroom which will probably be an office or a small guest bedroom:


Next to that bedroom is our laundry room (a real laundry room! Hooray!):
There's a nice table top in there and cabinets that run above where the washer and dryer will go.


Next is another bathroom (similar in style to our master bath), then at the far left of the hall is my sewing room (the other bedroom has a similar closet):


As you can see, Nermal was NOT down with exploring. She planted herself in my closet and wouldn't move. *sigh* Hopefully she warms up to things!

So, um...yeah, that's the tour! We'll hopefully have everything (or the vast majority) moved in by Saturday.

Guess what IIII have?

Jingle, jingle! :)


Things that are making me super happy right now?

Room in my walk in closet for my shoooooooooooes:


Lots of storage in my kitchen:


Aaaand I have pull-out shelves AND a lazy susan. As Jeff will tell you, I'm more than a little obsessed with lazy susans. Just look at all that storage!


It's been a busy day. I went over for the walk through at the new place and they gave me the key, so I went and picked up our stuff from where I'd been storing it at work. I ran and grabbed some lunch and then unpacked most of that stuff. The kitchen is mostly set up now and I am in. love. with. it. :D It's physically smaller than our current kitchen, but it's laid out so much better. Yay, yay, yay!

Anyway, I'm back now. Just thought I'd quickly upload some pictures. I'll post the tour tomorrow. For now I need a nap!

Pictures from my dad this morning, circa...I don't know, 1987 or so?
(you can click on any of these to enlarge the picture)

Behold the hotness. I think this was probably some time in 4th grade.


On my girl scout camping trip, which I think was either 3rd or 4th grade.
I'm the shrimp on the bottom of this totem pole:


And here's everyone. My brother is on the far left and I'm right next to him in the front row.

About Me

Boise, Idaho, United States
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. William Henry Channing
