The wee beginnings of a project from the Tracey Ullman/Mel Clark book Knit 2 Together, in Tilli Tomas Ruby Wine.
The Razor Cami in SWTC Bamboo. (Yep, still working on that one.)
Eleanora socks in Lisa Souza Sock! Merino, St. Valentine's. (Yes, this is the same sock I started in May. Shut up.) Beautiful pattern, no? Only single sock pattern I've ever purchased. I loved it that much.
Finally, it was time to pretend we might actually STAY in this residence for a while. See, in the last year, I've sold my house, moved out of that into a rented house waaay in the middle of nowhere, moved out of that and into another rented house with Travis, and moved out of that and into a home we purchased together....that's three moves of everything I own in a year - two of those moves also involving everything he owns...which, thankfully, wasn't much. So I'd grown accustomed to a cardboard-box-lifestyle, and was finding myself not caring that we have a house that, on the outside, looks like it should be owned by successful young professionals - and on the inside appears to be inhabited by squatting hobos.
You may have been horrified by a recently posted photograph of our bedroom. (If you don't recall, click the link - it makes the before and after so much more effective. I would post it again, but I suddenly realized that it's sort of embarassing.)
Time to move up and be grownups!
Our "new" bedroom makes me feel rich....luxe fabrics and colors, high thread count sheets and duvet, down comforter, feather pillows with silk cases....all Target! God I love Target. AND I managed to decorate in my colors, yet it meets the approval of the man who sleeps here too.
Yeah....I think I'm feeling saucy, sexy, sassy....very red indeed.
Your bedroom looks fantastic!!! What a great job.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you bought that sock pattern, it's really intriguing.
I need to invest in a nice bedspread sometime soon. My Travis and I only have a cheapy comforter! (Our bedroom is very sad. All mismatched furniture, no spread...) I like what you have, had my eye on something similar, but I need to be careful with the three cats who like to reside on the bed as well. I could see Pick City happenin'!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great, I'm lusting over the tilli tomas (still waiting for mine to arrive!)
ReplyDeleteyou made me spit out my drink, hobos?!
ReplyDeleteI do love red so of course I loooove your knits (finish that sock already!) and your new bedroom gear...target rocks, I'm not allowed to go there anymore.
LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE the new bed clothes!! It looks all catalog like all folded down and with all the pillows! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI need to learn how to coordinate my sheets. Half the time I could care less if everything matches. My 8-year-old picks out my sheets and comforter and she matches them up better than me.
I fix the bed when company is coming over.
Love all the grown-up colors! I love me some wine, too - the color AND the drink!
;o)
Me again! I got my yarn today - thanks so much! I love it, but the oldest one opened it for me, so I think I lost it. His favorite color is green, and he wants a pair of socks made with it. There will be enough for socks for the littlest one, too.
