What has my attention is ...

Since the first of the year, life has pretty much sucked with moments of happiness drizzeled in. So my attention has been very divided. I have been making some big decisions and that has been tough but good. One of the decisions is that we are moving. I am not sure when, but we are moving and now getting the house ready for it. Below, are some pictures of what I have been working on. All I can say is thank heavens I'm an art major, because most of the projects are HUGE art projects.

The first picture is the laying out of the mosaic tiles on the window sill in my bathroom.

Here is a detail of the corner pieces.

Now for the grout

After the first cleaning of the grout

And the final picture

The next project will be the risers on the steps from the dining room to the living room.

Done

Finally a picture. LOL. Sorry about that everyone. I am so busy and by the time I have a minute to blog, I'm too tired. I'm really sorry.

Anyway, yesterday I got some pictures of my finished vest. It's been done about a week. I love it. If you ever need a quick, pattern I really suggest looking into the Oregon Vest, it's great. BUT, if you have been a reader of my blog you know I always change a few things. The only thing I changed on the vest was how many rows you do for the neck. Since my neck is cold all the time, I increased it to fit my neck a little better. My next one I'm going to make it longer and leave off the pockets.

I mentioned that things are busy around here. They are and I'm exhausted. I haven't really been knitting that much because when I sit down I always fall asleep. LOL. Hopefully in the next few weeks plans will get made and I'll have a schedule that will all knitting and blogging. I sure miss keeping in touch with you all .
