lazy busy day

If that title isn’t an oxymoron, then I don’t know what is!

Josh had surgery yesterday, so today was to be a lazy, hang around the house day.

I unpacked the knitting…getting ready for the laziness:

but then I get a call from IKEA…my couches are being delivered today?!?!  SURE!

Exciting times here…we’re making a very big shift in how things look…color and style wise.  Think lighter and brighter…

So what was once this (not bad…just very brown and very heavy-feeling)…

is now this:

Next up for the living room?  Painting the walls a shade darker than they are now, replacing the curtains with something lighter, and new rug…I’m thinking sisal…any opinions?

Also…something I’m LOVING in my new room…my new quilt rack designed and made by my brother-in-law…the Air Force pilot.  It has adjustable rails so that you can change it based on the thicknesses of your quilts that you hang here.  I love it…and feel completely spoiled!

Perhaps tomorrow…an actual crafting post!

my how time flies

I swear it’s been just a minute or two since we spoke last.

Except it’s been since October 31st.  Oops.

Since October 31st I’ve trick-or-treated,

finished a knitted cowl

made a quilt for the woman who has worked in the nursery at my church for almost 30 years…signed by hundreds of the children that she rocked as infants)

decorated gingerbread houses

and rocked out on with the brand new gifts that Santa (aka the coolest mom and dad EVER!) left.

(as an aside…christmas began at 5:15 am this year for us.  5. 15.  yikes.)

It’s been a very busy but wonderfully blessed 2 months!  I hope that you all have had wonderful times…and I’ll be seeing you again…hopefully sooner rather than later.
