Long time, no post!

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted anything. Unfortunately our house was hit by the flu and I got out of the habit of posting.
I have had a few projects going on (as usual). I was working on the Monkey Mobile, but I am not happy with it. I have to go change a few things, or just start over. I have a friend who thinks it looks good, but I am so critical of my own work. I won't put anything out there that I am not  happy with.

I have also been unable to really focus until recently. I went through my remnants box and pulled out all the medium and really small balls of yarn that were in there. With the medium balls I made a few Tote bags that came out really nice. I have them listed as rainbow tote bags on my etsy shop.

With the smaller balls of yarn I am working on a throw rug that I will put in my bathroom in front of the shower. I will get pics of that when I am done and post them.
My craft room has been coming along nicely. We have 3 work desks in there! The computer desk (my son is usually planted there), my husbands fly tying station. He used a table that my older son made in high school wood shop, it is desk height and has 2 drawers, it is the perfect size for what he is using it for. He bought 2 shelving units and put them on top and then added another shelf across the top of the shelving units to create storage cubicles. It's nice having a master carpenter around the house for these projects.
My table is a desk that the former tenants left behind. It was in a storage space up in the attic. It is a beautiful desk that has a hutch top. So I have a small cabinet that has a glass door on it, and 2 cubicles and a large shelf across the top. As well as file drawers and another open cubby on the bottom of the desk.
It is really nice when we are all in there as a family working on our different projects!
I should be posting more regularly again.
Happy Hooking!

Monday

Well, Happy Monday! I have found that trying to get time on the computer over the weekend is close to impossible. My husband and my son usually tie up the laptop. So I have to be content with blogging during the week.
I am finally going to have a craft room, I have always wanted one. We cleared out the small bedroom that we were using just for storage. We went through the boxes we had stored in there and got rid of ALOT of crap. We managed to condense it down to about 5 boxes. We have to empty or restore these boxes before we can really finish up.
My husband replaced the window yesterday, no more draft! We put together our desk. We have a beautiful marble top office desk that we had set up in our old house. We haven't been using it since we got the laptop, but we found the need to have the desktop running as well. Bring us to the computer. Again, my husband, got out the old desk top computer and cleared the hard drive. We are now up and running on both the desk top and the laptop now.
My husband and I are going to share the room. He ties his own flies for fishing. We are setting up a table on one wall for him and another table along the other wall for me. We also have overhead lighting that we were going to put in our old house, but we decided to move before it was installed. We are going to put one fixture above each work area to give us plenty of light.
I am going shopping today to price storage boxes and organizers.
I am so excited to get this finished I can barely stand myself! It will make a great place for me to be creative and to get my business, "Crochet by LadyDay" off the ground.
Happy Hooking!
