The chevron scarf is finished and I really love it! Now I want a strapless chiffon dress, and some big sunglasses. I will wrap this around my neck a la Deborah Kerr or Grace Kelly and go for a ride along the coast in a convertible.

Moving along....
Daughter number 1 has been moved to her new home and job in Salinas (sniff), and now daughter number two is without a roommate and is moving back home for a bit. The spare bedroom has to be cleaned out, and so I moved the twin bed from that room into my sewing room. Turns out I like this arrangement!
Not only does this provide excellent napping opportunities, it's a great way to store my quilts. I have about five of them layered on this bed, instead of folded in the cupboard.

The sea spray and wind will whip my hair around my face like a cyclone.... Oh wait. My hair won't whip anymore...........
Because I cut it off! Here it is, morning bed head hair, morning bags under my eyes, still in my pajamas, no bra (all cropped out for your viewing pleasure). The pile of hair on the salon floor after the cut looked like a small dog. It feels better, and I just saved about 15 minutes of bathroom styling time, which works out to a few quilt blocks or crochet rows. Like this....
Half granny shawl in Noro. Waiting for an edging. I love this stuff!

How nice for you to have the bed in your sewing room, now everybody that comes over can admire your quilts.
ReplyDeleteI like the pink shawl you made and I can imagine you in a convertible wearing it.
The new crochet project looks nice also, that yarn is stunning.

Love the chevron scarf! Off to the salon myself in about an hour. I like the way you equated less hair-styling time with more crafting time!

haha. Good for you for a new cut! Tho boohoo on daughter moving. Then again yay for new jobs! Boy what a mess of conflicted emotions this morning! (me, not you!)
ReplyDeleteI love your pile of quilts Lynne! Can I come nap at your house? And the scarf turned out very Ooh~La~La indeed. Like your hair cut too! And I am loving the new work in progress. Gorgeous colorway in that yarn.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Love the new cut and saving time to crochet or quilt is always important. I love the pile of quilts also. That looks like a really cozy place to nap. :)

I love your new 'do'!!! It looks gorgeous. I wish I could look that good first thing in the morning that's for sure! How perfect having the bed there to keep your quilts on. You can have a different look everyday swapping them around - perfect! There is a double bed in our spare room where my craft corner is. It gets the afternoon sun and I love sprawling out for a quick dose of vitamin D. I love your Noro project - fabulous colours.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab week hon.

Whoa, you've been busy! I love the short hair, bedhead and all. You'll look so chic in your movie star scarf. The granny shawl makes me want to delve deeply into my Noro stash and start hooking. You inspire me every time I visit here!
ReplyDeleteLoving that pale pink lacy scarf, and agree it would be perfect in a Grace Kelly style scenario (as in To Catch a Thief!)- perfect for warm summer evenings on the Corniche with Cary!
ReplyDeleteAlso loving the Noro shawl - those colours........yum!
