please be kind...

it's been awhile since I've mentioned the knitting attic ...and here's why:


every bit of crafty goodness I own is now laying in the middle of the floor waiting to be put away


every nook and cranny in the house has been purged of knitting and sewing paraphernalia and every box has been opened and lugged upstairs and is spread out bow to stern, port to starboard


I know where everything is right now, but nothing is where it will eventually be


the only thing left to do before organizing is installing my closet shelving and painting my window frame ... and then it's time to put some order to all this disorder!

this is my project for June ... hopefully by July I will not only have a room where you can see the floor, but maybe some of you will actually have been invited over for a knit day in my knitting attic

(for those of you that know me well, be proud of me and please, please don't judge ~ it is a monumental thing for me to post pictures of a mess and prove to the world (or truth be told, our handful of readers) what I've known all along ... I am not perfect even though I strive to be!) ... and if anyone has any ideas what to do with a soon to be 18 year old wedding dress, I'd love to hear them ;)

  3. Oh I'm so proud of you!!! You must love and trust us~ way to go little lady.

    I would be honored to come help if it's a day that I'm not working. Just keep that in mind.

    It's going to be a fabulous room and soon!

    Be still my heart.

  4. Great start to a great room! I really thing that most of the "Mess" could be remedied by a bookshelf or two. Not that I really thing it's a mess, because it's a work in progress, and that's a whole different thing.

    As for the wedding dress, I've heard of people turning them into Christmas tree skirts. Just an idea.
