Life in General

It seems the last few weeks life had kept me pretty busy.  We're in the midst of bathroom remodeling/renovations.  Which *crosses fingers* should be done in the next week or so.  The new tile floor is done and grouted.  The new fancy tile shower is all done, just needs the grout done.  My darling other half is putting up the door casing and the baseboard today!  Which means my washing machine can finally move out of the basement into our apartment!! YAY!!  Currently I have to go outside, down a set of stairs, through the workshop to get to the laundry room.  This will be a definate improvement!
I've been slowly working on my Harpa Socks and my first top down sweater Red "Oatmeal" Pullover which is coming along quite nicely, but sadly won't be done for the end of the Olympics tonight.

We have been dog sitting for the last two weeks.  Mike's Dad went to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands for a holiday.  We have his Mastiff, her name is Blue.  She's about 120lbs, and is a funny old girl.  She's got some bad habits.  Mike has nicknamed her the 'garbage hound', but we love her anyways.  It has made our 450SF apartment seem even smaller.  Our two dogs don't mind the company though, which is good.  I do have quite the audience when I'm cooking or eating. 

I'm going to be doing a Sew-A-Long with Alli over at One Pearl Button.  I did one just before Christmas with her and it was such a blast.  I made my sister Rachel a great knitting bag.

I'll try and post some photos of my sweater and socks later tonight or tomorrow.

A Day in the Life of.. Anne Barton

  Welcome to Stitch Read Cook's weekly feature!! A Day in the Life of..... This is where us bloggers & fans get a glimpse inside the days of our favorite authors!   -------------------- Anne Barton started swiping romances from her mom’s bookshelf as a teenager and decided historicals (with their balls, dukes, and gowns) were the best. So, when she had the chance to spend a semester in London she packed her bags—and promptly fell in love with the city, its history, and its pubs. She dreamed of writing romance, but somehow ended up a software analyst instead. Fortunately, a few years and a few careers later, Anne found her way back to writing the stories she loves and won the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart® for Regency Historical Romance. She lives in Maryland with her husband and three children, who try valiantly not to roll their eyes whenever she quotes Jane Austen. Her weaknesses include reality TV, cute-but-impractical shoes, and coffee. Lots and l...
