Our House Is A Very Very Very Fine House

I originally meant to take this in the early morning, so the sun would be behind it (get it? The sun? Behind the sun? So it would look like a little sun? In the sun? Meta!) But I forgot, and ultimately think this one turned out fine. Besides, I think to show off the shiny [...]

One thing this house will never have enough of for me is flat space. But then, I’m an agent of chaos and any flat space within about a mile of me immediately becomes Covered In Stuff, so… take that as you will. And one thing this house has a lack of is places to put [...]

Yesterday was one of those days where I might not have gotten as much done, work-wise, as I wanted, but it was a good day to be self-employed. I got to meet my friend Jenn for lunch at Wine & Cheese, making it both a late and long (and raucous — we were laughingly applauded [...]

Is the month already half over? How’d that happen? Who said that could happen? I swear it was just New Year’s Day and we were having breakfast until it was time to switch the food to lunch fixins. This was most of the view in my house yesterday. Not necessarily Tim’s Cat blocking my access [...]

I got a lot of work done yesterday. Exhibit A: my new workspace. Can I really call it my new workspace when I’ve had this desk ten years? Ah, whatever. Rearranged workspace, how about that? Most of you probably know I have this giant L-shaped desk. Recently I rearranged my office for a number of reasons, and [...]

Tim indulged my idea of repainting the bathroom, and a couple weekends ago he took everything off the walls and started in – here are some “before” photos. I wanted a color that both went with the pink tile (which we don’t feel up to replacing right now) but didn’t sort of… point to it, [...]

Not the most beautiful of my photos this week, but the most exciting; in fixing up the bathrooms, Tim put a “sock drying rack” for all my handknit socks above the washing machine and dryer in the laundry room/bathroom. I LOVES IT, MY PRECIOUS! The rest of my 2011 daily photos can be viewed here.

I’m so happy with my vegetable garden. Oh, who are we kidding? It’s a tomato garden (insert joke about first husband’s body here). Sure; there are cucumbers (delicious, but not very large or plentiful) and peppers (which I’m growing for Tim). But the tomatoes are my pride and joy. Our garden must be a hotbed [...]

Welcome to Part Three! Need to catch up? Part One; Part Two. The sink area is sort of a workhorse/jack-of-all-trades. Partly flat space, partly storage, partly sink, partly mess. This is what makes me different from some other crafters — I make messes, and sometimes don’t know where to put shit. If you didn’t have [...]
