What was I thinking.....

size 3 needle knitting

is a 

very 

s l o w 

process

.........................................

I will not tell you how long it has taken me to create this small triangle.

Two-Three increases on each knit row.

The yarn hasn't even had a chance to change color yet!

I have to wear my glasses to work on this project ;-(

BUT

With the glass half Full......

Check out the lower right corner of my sweater !

Instant Gratification

Jimmy Beans is phenomenal ! They send their yarn in a bag with a Snazzy Cabled Scarf Pattern printed on it !!  Gahd ;-))  Ordered this Gorgeous yarn on Friday, 'Bam' it's here and ready before I am !!!

Gonna give this little sexy number a go !  This Noro Yarn is actually sock yarn so I will be using size 2-3 needles....tiny.  But i couldn't resist the angular pattern of the body, so i shall hurry and finish the cute slouch hat that is currently on the 'popular' needles ;-))

This is what the yarn will be when it grows up !

Birchbox time!

What a Treat my Mail was today! I mean what girl doesn't like getting beauty products !!
Birchbox, It cost only $10 a month and I never wish I had the cash back. It's like someone out there 'Really Loves Me' and sends me random Goodies!


• I have been wanting one of these red Beautyblenders! So excited about that little cutie.
• The tiniest lipgloss that is a non-sticky gloss. I would really appreciate if this is true because I get tired of pulling my hair off my lips in the wind! It also delivers a subtle plumping effect that should last all day. ;-0
• A delightful Anti-Aging Oil that smells like dessert!!
• A tube of serum for smoother skin under your Make-up.
• And a Luna bar for a snack !!



I also ordered a couple of things from DHC.
I am gonna try out a new Mascara and Eyeliner. You always get 4 free samples from this company with each order. So I opted for a body wash and a deep conditioner for my hair. These little gems are awesome for traveling ;-))

So if you are curious about either of these awesome on-line companies, here are their sites;

Banana-Ginger Cookies

I cut this recipe out of a Family Circle Magazine (don't fret, it was My Magazine).
Of course I have to try to 'low-carb' it somewhat, so Instead of flour I use 1cup Almond Flour and 1 cup Carbquik. No eggs in this recipe (I want to call it a pattern!). So that means the dough was quite edible and licked clean ;-)


I love nuts and my kids don't so the yellow frosting is nut-free!



I predict they will be gone in 24 hours.

Enjoy!

It's Finished!

And BOY do I Love it. ;-)

It's warm and cozy with lots of 'Folding' room (now that the washer and dryer sit lower).


The letters turned out perfect.



The new Accordion Dryer Shelf is a dream, I have already used it to dry my Delicates! hehehe



The awesome box style curtain expertly hides the "Uglies" !!
Oh and Purl likes to walk behind it she is my Duster !


This morning I shopped at some fav second hand stores and found some decor. This fake plant and pot-$5, the red fake Orchid-$4, sturdy red wire basket-$5 and the old looking red crock-$3!!!!!





This basket I had in the garage and it hides my huge box of detergent!


Oh and I painted the little handles red ;-)


So any time you want to come over and do a load of laundry....

Giving the Tiny Laundry Room a New Look

Here it is folks, as little as they come!! I am standing in the Hallway, and these are the only angles I can get. It is by far the oddest shaped Laundry Room I have seen. There is No sink, but plenty of storage.


I wish I would have gotten a picture of the Washer and Dryer with the Pedestal Drawers, then they sat at least a foot higher. I had them removed (Think I can sell them on Craig's List?) because I had issues with the washer. So now that they sit lower, the 'beautiful' water turn-off area and plug in--Stick out Like a Sore Thumb :-/

The service guy told me of another client that put up a Curtain to hide the 'Uglies' SO I shall do the Same!



I have decided to go with a Barn Red color scheme. Found a throw rug and valance at
J.C.Penneys. I have always loved the look of those Wooden Accordion Dryer things and found this cute small one Online at Ballardsdesign.com !


Then I went to Jo-Ann's craft store and bought Red and Cream Paint and the cardboard letters
"W""A""S""H". (all for $10)


I am going to try to give them the whitewash look. I can not tell you how enjoyable it was to paint those letters, does that make me weird??!?
Do you see Purl and Prancer monitoring my progress??
Hopefully tomorrow I can in list my husbands help to hang wooden shelf and curtain rod. He has been awake for over 30 hours due to a return flight from Brazil!
Stay tuned for the Ending Results ;-))
