Is it wrong to love an inanimate object so much? Totally worth the money, and will keep it forever. Also, this is a sleeper sofa. Yes, that is right. It actually has a blow up mattress inside so it won't be so heavy. I got mine at Madison House in Spokane. Pricey, but exactly what you want and you will be happy to keep it forever. I couldn't resist taking pictures of the rearranged room. I feel so happy when I am sitting here, having a cup of tea!

There is a lot of nature in this room, I guess because that's what I love.

Ok, this is all other's work but look at all the cool projects out there that we could do! (I mean you do, and make one for me also).
LoLovie: Easy peasy necklace

Check out the above link. What a cute and clever way to make a necklace. If I wasn't up to my neck in work, I'd take the time to make this.
Saw another cute necklace at Whip up: 

Design sponge has a whole DIY lamp roundup here. This one is new - and hey, maybe you don't want this over your dining room table, but how cool in an office or even a kids bedroom with colored paper.

A welcome spring knitting party? I am so there.

Signs of Spring

Spring is so slow to come to the Palouse. Really - it still looks like this outside. But Living in the Garden had their annual spring opening - and Suzanne promises that spring is coming.

It looks a little like spring over at her shop. Another sign of spring around here is planning for the garden. Brian already has catalogs and lists. I have been too distracted to make my list, but I will soon.

My list involves lots of pink, where ever I can get it. Somehow I just love that palest pink that is almost beige in the spring.
I'm starting a new winter hat, but its light weight and this yarn has bamboo for softness and shine. Its not a wooly- warm hat. That's something, right?
