Our House Is A Very Very Very Fine House

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.

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 [...]

Let me just tell you for a second… how completely, 100%, kick-ass my girlfriends are. LET ME SHOW YOU THEM. Or, rather, LET ME SHOW YOU THEIR AWESOME POWERS. See, you may or may not know, but my front yard has gone beyond “that natural look” into “holy shit, is there a house behind that?” [...]

Part Two of Craft Room Organization: If you can’t FIND the inspiration, BE the inspiration (AKA “Arne’s Mr. Rogers Factory Tour Dreams Come True”). You can read Part One here. For part two, I want to talk about the shelves where I keep the majority of my soap fragrances. As with everything else (and no, [...]

Part One of Craft Room Organization: If you can’t FIND the inspiration, BE the inspiration (AKA “Arne’s Mr. Rogers Factory Tour Dreams Come True”). You can’t see it but I have changed my shoes and am wearing a comfy handknit cardigan. For part one, I want to talk about the shelves where I keep my [...]
