Argh! Remind me to stick to smaller projects that I can actually finish before I get sick of them. I’m sure the linen stole I’m knitting will be beautiful when finished, but I’m very bored with it. Resisiting the urge to whip up a quick scarf or baby hat to distract me.
DH and I have made an offer on a home in a small town just 19 miles out of Austin. This is our first time buying a home, luckily our realtor is our friend who had definite opinions about where he’d like to visit us. It’s an older house…which pleases us greatly, but with no central air, a huge deal in central Texas…this of course would be the first thing to happen. Our fingers are crossed.

DH and I are heading out into the country to poke our noses around strange homes. I finished this beehive a week or so ago, but couldn’t post until I sewed on bee buttons because you wouldn’t know what the hell it was. I have begun a hybrid design which with choice of color can be either a clover or a berry…check out WIPs to see start of this. Will post pics of my linen stole (in progress) later.

I told my mom weeks ago I’d post this photo. Amazing how the scarf looks just like the hydrangea, isn’t it? This is actually one of my first knitting projects. I learned to knit around Thanksgiving and went crazy knitting for Christmas.
DH and I have started the long suffering, humbling process of buying our first home. Unfortunately I made more money waiting tables than I do at my high stress, high visibilty, cool job so we’re looking out in the country…Austin’s just too deep for our pockets.
I woke up this morning and thought I felt Bean (my kitty who passed on recently) sleeping on my leg…it was weird.
