States of Deconstruction Part 2

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

We are now getting the flooring replaced on the entire first floor of the house. One of the more bizarre parts of having the house ripped apart is I currently have a toilet in my living room.



This is where the toilet should be. Once the grout cures tonight it can go back to it's home.



The kitchen is getting tiled as well. Yesterday my refrigerator and stove were in the dining room. The tilers put them back this morning.



There is also tile by the back door, which means the only usable exit in the house is through the garage. Jezebel is having a hard time understanding why she can't go out the back door to the back yard.



We get the hardwood installed tomorrow and by friday all of this work should be done and we'll have our house back.

One Fish, Two Fish

Tuesday, March 16, 2010

We decided on a Dr Suess theme for the baby's room. My friend Heather said she would be happy to paint the mural of one fish, two fish on our walls. She did such a great job, Daren and I couldn't be happier with the results.



Here's One Fish with his splash on another wall.



Two Fish



Red Fish



Blue Fish



Thank you so much Heather. This is way beyond what we could have done. Love it!

Dishcloth Mad

So ever since I started the Kris Knits dishcloth KAL I have become obsessed with them. I never understood the appeal of knitting dishcloth, I never actually made them when I was learning to knit. I now have plans to make them for my mom, to make some for gifts for other family members, and lots for me.

The only this I've knit for the frog so far are these set of Kris Knits Baby Cloths. I need one more color of Sugar and Cream to finish the last cloth. I figured out you can get 1 of her small cloths and 1 large cloth from 1 ball of sugar and cream.



Next up is the February KAL. Some people said they had a hard time seeing what it was. Once it was pointed out to me that there was a branch on the bottom I saw the love birds and the heart.



Last is one of a set of cloths I plan to make for my mom for mothers day. Another Kris Knits cloth (I told you I'm obsessed right?).



The little I-cord loop was from another cloth. Ladonna put one on her Jan cloth and I thought it was a great idea.
