Another blog?

I'm an iphone junky now, and sadly I can't blog easily on it to this account. I've decided to keep this one for bigger ideas, and post my everyday thoughts and pictures on tumblr.

Knitting.

As soon as the weather cools off I grab for my knitting needles- a week later I'm usually over it.
Not this year! I'm planning to actually learn some more! This year I taught myself increasing and decreasing, changing colours and adding patterns and today I learned a cable stitch!!
Here it is:

but can anyone tell me why my edges curl so badly?

And if you haven't seen all my pictures on facebook, this is my new kittie and VERY good knitting helper; Mookie.

Organizing.

I've been trying to get my life organized. Storage is my key to success, so I've been finding a home for everything. Today I worked on my sewing stuff; built a $45 book shelf from home depot, found a place for my vintage sewing patterns and folded and put away a whole bunch of fabric.
My front entrance is all finished (except... maybe I want a floor length mirror....)

Note my lady lamp and my horse poster :)

some fabric....

It's like the top drawers were made for patterns!
I have been given tons of vintage patterns, what great references,

Most of them are from the mid 60's- late 80's. so fun!

Bookshelf isn't full yet, but has lots of sewing/drafting and fashion info!

Bird house.

When I got back to Nova Scotia this summer I got to the beach as often as I could. On one trip to Martinique Beach with Brent I found some pretty birdhouses for sale on the East Petpeswick Road.
Cost? Honour system of leaving $5 in a bin. Sold!

New home for the bird house :)
