YAY!! today is a day of finished projects..!!! The nursey is almost there.. a few finishing touches are needed.. curtains and the throw rug.. maybe some pictures.. as u can see the chair rail didn't make it...I painted 95% of it and it didn't look right so I painted over it and just left one biege stripe... I'm pleased with it now.. baby cloths are being washed.. crib sheets.. and blankets all washed and put in their places.. everything just about ready.. (^_^)
















I'm sure u are sick of seeing these glove and that scarf.. hehehe.. but I had to show u that they are really and truely finished.. !!!! how long does it take to knit a tiny finger..!!! It seemed like it took me so long.. and there has to be a way to stop those little holes from developing inbetween the fingers.. I casted on the amount the pattern told me to at each finger and I still got little holes that I had to darn up after. Gloves are not my favorite thing to knit but I actually liked knitting these for some reason.. Now I'm thinking that every one should make at least one pair of gloves..!!!.. (^_^)

My project of the day... I'm painting a baby nursery.. shew... I've been painting all the little stripes on the border by hand.. I actually just finished painting the last stripe..this picture was taken earlier today. The top portion of the room is a creamy beige and the bottoms is a soft greem with darker green stripes as the border... for tomorrow I'm thinking of adding a faux chair rail..well thats a maybe.. in the mean time.. there is time to knit some fingers on my last glove.. man I'm tired.. heheh

I'm matching up yarn and projects with projects to be. This hat will have some matching mittens knit in of course the same yarns used for the hat... some manly mittens!!


















The scarf and gloves will have a matching hat knit in SWS in a little different color but still matching
















This scarf will have a set of coordinating gloves knit in wool-ease in a color called chestnut heather... in r/l it looks more towards rust than color looks in the picture. I don't know.. but I just like looking at yarn and touching it...I like to group different yarns together just to look at them.. hehe..
















well .. I'm off to do some painting.. I have to paint 2 rooms in my house and a bed still.. and of course my friends on WoW are waiting for me.. so I better hurry up "0.0"..!!!

jAvA!!

I don't know about u.. but I like to start my day with a yummy cup of delicious java.. and this is how I make it.. I use the expresso blend of coffee and I prefer the spanish brand.. after the coffee is brewed I add a generous amout of vanilla flavored coffee creamer.. next I add the coffee.. then pile on a large amount of foamed milk and last a nice dash of cinnamon.. ta-da..!!! the most yummiest coffee .. to start the day...






















Yes.. there is knitting!!!.. a few of you have asked about the pattern for the gloves.. I'm using the the unisex glove pattern from the book Oneskein. The pattern is written in 3 sizes and I'm using the medium size. This will be the third pattern that I'm using from the book and I have plans to make at least two more for Christmas gifts.
I don't know about this.. thank u so much Nicole.. I'm speachless...(blush)..heheh

As far as my other projects.. ( painting the bed and recovering the doggy bed) I'm still on it..

Gloves!!! or one glove at least..I've made lots of mittens and one pair of gloves through out my knitting career.. I never liked knitting the fingers because they were small and close to each other and everything seemed to be in the way and hard to handle... but then!!!... I noticed there were these stubby dpns at my LYS .. so.. I bought some.. (you can never have enough knitting supplies) because you just never know when u get a brain storm (like Saturday night) to knit the most fabulous project and u find u don't have the right size needles.. and your LYS will not be open again until tuesday...how sad is that...so just incase I bought stubby dpn in the 2 sizes I use most for little items.. and... that just happened to be the size I needed to make the fingers on these gloves.. and they were wonderful and I didn't feel like I needed to have 3 hands to be able to knit them.. so this has totally changed my mind about knitting gloves.. they are no longer on the list of items I hate to knit...on to the next glove.. (^_^)

pictures pictures pictures..!!!

Yay pictures... I don't know why I couldn't upload them before.. but in the mean time I defragged my computer.. and now I was able to upload pictures.. a mystery!!..
Here is the bed all ready to be painted...

















And this is my second harlot scarf.. a few rows before it was finished...
















and little bitty's bed.. the pillow had been recovered in fancy leapard print faux suede.. and the old fabric is on the side.. I'm still working on picking out the seems..















and I'm working on a pair of gloves at the moment and will show u my progress tomorrow.. (^_^)
until then happy knitting..

...Well... since I haven't been able to upload any pictures for 2 days... and u know what they say "a picture is worth 1000 words"...yesterday I had lots of projects planned..
first.. I finished my second harlot scarf .. and yes there is a picture floating in cyberspace somewhere waiting to upload...
second.. Bitty needed a new little bed... but it was really just the fabric that covered the foam form that was icky.. so (i never throw anything away) there was fabric a-plenty in my stash.. so I decided to pull the stitching out of the old doggy bed cover and use it as a pattern to sew up a new cover.. the fabric I found was a faux suede type in a leapard pattern and a contrasting fabric in a cream color... I got as far as recovering the pillow for now.. and I'm still picking out stitches on the other part.. that is taking way longer than I thought it would.. but I can't turn back now so I keep picking...
the third project lined up is a bed frame that I want to paint black to match its mate that is already painted black..( it's the second bed syndrome)..it has been lightly sanded, laid out neatly on a drop cloth in the garage and is all ready to be painted.. ( I didn't get to that yesterday and it's still already for a coat of paint)... the third project I had lined up to do yesterday was.. a pair of gloves to be kntted to match the harlot scarf I just finished... I actually worked on the gloves and I'm up to the point where I start the fingers on the first glove.. Yay... the pattern I'm using is from One skein..and im making the meduim size in wool-ease.. yes I know.. why did I use wool-ease.. out of all the yarn I have ever used.. I really dislike wool-ease.. especially for sweaters.. but for some reason it makes a decent glove..besides the fact that the gauge is perfect and it was the only yarn with a matching color..or close to matching the color I used for the scarf. I guess every yarn has a purpose.. sometimes u just have to find out what that purpose is..
today It's raining.. so I think painting the bed is going to have to wait for another day... so it's back to picking out stitching and finishing up some gloves.. (^_^)
