WIP: Twiga

It might be still a work in progress, it might be done. I haven't decided yet.

If Shelley could silk-screen this I'd be psyched, but I suspect line drawings are hard to silk screen.

Cooper River Weekend

It was a glorious weekend, and the Cooper River (possibly my favorite river ever) was flowing perfectly. No, we did not run the falls in this photo. Nobody does. It's not compatible with life.

Moved

We finally can see out from under all the boxes. Lots of projects are underway around here- the painting, sewing window shades for all of our narrow windows, and lots and lots of using a drill. It was an experience, getting started, and has so far turned out ok. I have to wait for daylight to go away as they are not photographing very well.

I've never really used a drill before so that has been fun to learn how to choose a bit, drill a pilot hole, put in anchors, try to get out misplaced anchors, etc. The folks who sold the condo did quite a bit of work before they left and some of it is great and some makes no sense at all. So we've been doing things like repainting the baby poop gold bedroom a light blue (before and after photos to come) and moving towel rods from inappropriate locations.

I hung some nice ikea shelves in the craft room to house some boxes and Kennet and his Dad made us some fabulous beautiful shelves for the closet in the kitchen, which was a coat closet but is now a much needed pantry.

Behold.
All of this stuff was on the floor until about 10 minutes ago.

I also got a great craigslist find- this Danish Modern chair. It's been well loved, but I think it will be a fun project when I get to it in about six months.

Pocket Park

It looks like we're moving at the end of the month just around the corner from this tree. I had read about it a while ago, but I don't think I realized that it was considered a city park of .02 acres. I wonder if that's the world's smallest park.

We've been having a lot of fun reading this blog- someone actually has enough time to listen to the police scanner and blog about it on a regular basis? It's pretty fascinating to see what all the crazies are up to.
