My Little Crafty Corner

Archive for May, 2009

We have been doing lots of home improvements lately, and I have found that I really like to paint, maybe a new hobby? Nah! I think the only room that won't be retouched this year is the bathroom… unless I can talk the hubby into getting a new vanity and look as some new faucets for that as well as a shower head.   I am sure I can find some things to knit to add to the bathroom to finish off the home improvements.

Ooooo  I found this cute little 5 piece set I want to give a try. 

Now if only my arm will cooperate and allow me to actually knit this!  I have only managed to knit two rows tonight on a dishcloth, so its not looking to promising.  Sigh.  I think its time I break down and go see the doctor to figure out what needs to be done about this arm pain!

I am so glad we can pay our insurance online as well as other bills, as I am now out of checks. I don't really want to order anymore either. We rarely write checks so I feel it is a waste of money. The amount we would pay for them, would be dinner out at Fazzoli's.  Or maybe a few skeins of yarn.  I have a few projects I want to do and of course the yarn I have on hand just won't do.  Isn't that the way it always goes?

I am hoping the the pain in my elbow holds off for while so I can finish these projects.  Keep your fingers crossed!

A year ago we borrowed a pressure washers to clean our deck. I had so much fun using this that I am wondering if it would be ok to use it on our house to clean it as well.  I'll have to look into that.  But now I need to look into finding some stain to restain the deck.  We will be here for a little while longer as the house market isn't all that great in Michigan.  I plan on spending lots of time out on the deck now that I have a nice patio set.  Just have to see if my wonderful hubby will be up for the challenge of this next project.  I may have to wait a little while, so he can recover from the kitchen remodel we just finished up this weekend.

We finished the floor this weekend.  It was a lot of work, but well worth in in the end!  We have the molding to put back and install the 2 thresholds.   Then it will be onto the countertops!  I can't wait for my kitchen to be done!
