Our new barracks

The re-sanding of the floors starts today. So last night was our night of moving everything back to the basement. Brian managed to set up quite the "pad" for us so that we wouldn't lose our t.v. or computer privileges. Thankfully, it's not too cold right now because there is an evident lack of heat in our basement.



I have a finished knitting project to show off. This is the baby kimono sweater from Mason Dixon Knitting. It was a straight forward pattern and turns out so cute...freakin' adorable if I say so myself.

I love baby projects because they typically take less than a week to make and are always cute. It's too bad they fit the baby perfectly....for about a week.



The pattern called for two ribbons to be put on for the closure. I preferred one because two seemed busy (plus less sewing this way). I think a large safety pin would also look cute - the kind with little chicks or bunnies on them.

Good job! Your basement looks like Wayne's World! I hope you get excellent results this time.

Just stopped by. Looking good so far, will have a better perspective tonight.

The kimono is adorable. Did it go to Montelle and Kyle's baby? If so, you'll also have many nurses who happen to have 3rd shift down time on their hands), wanting to know where the pattern comes from. Do you include a "made with love by" label with your handmade lovables?


So good to have you guys around this weekend. It was also wonderful for the two of you to have some "bonding" time with Jeff and Jacq! I'm certain it meant quite a bit to them. Hey, they're looking at St. Lucia for a honeymoon!

The Kimono was for Montelle and Kyle. And Jessie realized that when the baby grows out of the sweater, her favorite doll can wear it.
