I am playing with the look of my blog. Just needed to mix it up a little. I am also revamping my link lists and creating separate pages for them. They will trickle back in as I clear out broken links and create the pages. My hope is to get a more streamlined look.
It is a bit like cleaning out the closet. You look at a jumbled mess and think 50% must be junk. Then you get into it and can't part with much. More proof that I am a pack rat.
We are also clearing out the garage. It will get insulated, sheet rocked, and painted. Guess why. I am getting a dye studio! Yes!!! Huge thanks to hubby for making it happen.
In cleaning out the garage, we found stuff that is usable, but not for us any more. I joined Freecycle and posted it. Not only have I found happy homes for all of it, but we got some free insulation! If you aren't familiar with Freecycle, it is a group that puts together folks who have useful stuff with folks who want it and always for free. Check out the website to find a group near you. Recycling is great, reuse is better!
No knitting content today. Nothing much to show yet. Amaryllis has just a few more insanely slow rounds to go. Each round is about 900 stitches now. I want to finish it before I work on other projects.
To distract you, I present my new addiction: IHasAHotdog. Thank you Rachael for the link.
This is so Sammie (but not literally Sammie).
There is still time to enter the I Heart Ravelry Contest. Contest ends this evening or whenever I get around to drawing a random number.
I like the new blog look - it's much easier to read!

Last summer we re-did the garage, but my husband laid claim to it as a drawing/painting studio. Tomorrow begins the first day of me taking the garage over as a dye studio! Just don't tell him, he'll be very upset!

Whoa, I did a double take when your page opened! I really like the new look.
A dye studio?! You are so lucky and have a great hubby!
