I don't have a name for this one.

Our new bed!



Pete told me he didn't care what the duvet looked like and that it was just a bed... but right now he is sitting beside me reading PRIDE AND PREJUDICE... so I actually think he likes the flowers.


This is for you Casey; the little bird, just as you imagined.


We found this book shelf on the street yesterday. Someone just left it outside for the taking... Or so Pete told me. Even though I believed him, I still wanted to pack it into the car in a rush... It seems too good to be true.


We went back to that junk yard on Sunday to get these crates and made this shoe rack.

And we finally got a couch! No longer do we have to sit across the room from each other in our stiff leather chairs... or push the guests to the floor when we race for a seat.


Pete's mom, Rachel, came this weekend and delivered our clock to us that she gave us for our engagement present. I love it! Oh and that grey table is done... 5 layers of paint later.


And that is that. 
Pete wants me to tell you that he is really reading sports. The rough kind where they hit and tackle each other.... "Rugby".

I started knitting yesterday.. The first line took me about an hour as I was squinting at the computer screen following the youtube lady saying "Its soo simple, just do a loop here, push it there, and it will pop out there....." WHAT! anyways now I have the first line and am working on the easy bit. It will either be a scarf or a wash cloth depending on how soon I get a job.

I really have to remember to bring my camera out with me.. I swear I did a lot more this weekend than sit on the couch and knit... just no picture evidence.

BYE FOR NOW
