So Much in Two Days!

A ton has happened in two days I am happy to say. On Tuesday Matthew and I were on his way to my house and decided to stop off at Living Spaces to look around since we are shopping for a new bed. We wandered around a bit and saw some nice beds but nothing stood out. We turned a corner (read:walked past 2 closet/dresser things) and stopped in out tracks. We both were amazed at the bed. Our issue has been we both have extremely different tastes in bed styles. I like the deep maghinogy sleigh beds, he likes the metal bars look. This, ladies and gents has both!

It's been decided that we need more pillows because that head board looks massive with just the 4. We were going to buy the Euro Shams but they were $50.00 each! The bed skirt was $69.99. Since I'm thinking of getting a different set later we decided to wait. It's currently at his place since my room is still full of furniture we need to sell. If anyone is interested in a Teen Girls bedroom set you can find my listing on Craig's List: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/fur/371149266.html

I also finished his socks (finally!) Tuesday night. I think I should have made the heel longer on one of them but it's too late now and I'm not sure he likes them...He's not sure he likes them. Thats ok though, he'll eventually come around I'm sure.

Yesterday, we bought a storage unit to hold all of his (and my) stuff while he's away in Basic Training. Nice. Like a closet but bigger!! You know what this means right? I'll be able to put more stuff away in the storage unit to make room for more yarn at my house! Sweet! I also Made a scarf from One Skein Wonders, Filippi Scarf for my brother's fiancee. I used Andina in an Dark olive Green for the yarn (40%Wool, 40% Alpaca, 20% Acrylic) and it was worked over size 13 needles. It took mabey 4 hours on and off to do. Lovely! It was so quick in comparison to the Sportweight Alpaca on size 2 needles I'm using for the cable trim pullover. I was very pleased.
