LYS Tour, Kids, House




I was well behaved and only went to four of the 24 shops on the LYS Tour (for you non-knitters that is local yarn store!). They were Village Yarn and Tea, Tricoter, Bad Woman Yarn and Hilltop. Had to go in between kids! I bought a skein of Claudia Hand Painted yarn at Village yarn and Tea-color blue fields and they gave away a nice summer sock pattern. At Tricoter I bought a skein of Socks That Rock in the color Footzey Foo. I had been wanting Footzey Foo for awhile to do another Chevron Scarf. Can you tell what my favorite colors are??





Colin looking mighty cool on our few days of hot weather in Seattle! It did get in the 90's believe-it-or-not. He is just the cutest boy ;)



We moved the bedroom upstairs this weekend! It is so nice...we love it! Still quite a few things to get done. The projects still are never ending. No moving up clothes until the closets are finished. Colin seems to think the bed is okay with him. Prime jumping area!



This is the landing at the top of the stairs. Enough room for either a comfy chair or a computer desk. Not sure which yet.



Here is a picture of Ian's finished railing! It looks beautiful. Well worth that PAINSTAKING trip to Arvid's Hardwoods! I'm not so good or patient at the wood store. Well worth the effort!
