I love me some faeries!

Your fairy is called Yarrow Elfshimmer
She is a cheerful sprite.
She lives close to vixen and badger sets.
She is only seen when the first flowers begin to blossom.
She dresses in black and white like a badger. She has delicate green wings like a cicada.

Long time, no update

So... it's been a while since I last updated. My CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) has been kicking my ass & I havent' been able to hold my needles, let alone the weight of my current projects. But I'm beginning to feel a little better (Mineral Ice is my new best friend!).
So, here's the quick update. Brandon & I are buying a house!!! We close at the end of July & I cannot wait!!!! The cleaning/packing has already begun. Two bags are already filled & just waiting to go to Goodwill. And soon comes... DECORATING!!!! I have so many ideas flowing 'round my shortly shorn little head (oh yeah, did I mention, I got a truly horrible short haircut. Well, if I hadn't yet, I just did).
And as far as projects go, I am still working on the king-size basket-weave crocheted afghan, queen-size Phoenix Coyotes duplicate-stitch afghan (that one doesn't have to be done until next hockey season though, phew!), quilt for Ellie & Alexander (one Care Bear, the other Disney princesses), kimono shawl, and several other small projects.
Hopefully I'll have some project pics soon, but for now, pictures of the new house will have to suffice. P.S.-We're buying it from a cute Marine & his girlfriend. They're super nice, but have a very country style. It will look different after the decorating.


We're the house on the right. It's just these two houses on the lot (right now the other house is not occupied & won't be for some time. The owner is doing major repairs to the home, but doesn't seem to be in any hurry. They think it will become a Habitat for Humanity house once it's fixed up). The lot backs up to a dead-end street that can't be seen through the trees on our lot & on one side is an old bakery (again, not inhabited) and on the other side is an old bottling plant. The plant is also not occupied, but in theory, if Pulaski becomes a metropolis & has businesses just begging to come to town, it could be started up again. I think we're safe :)




The living room is right off the back entrance & porch. The door you see lead to the sunroom & off to the left is the dining room, which is pictured below.




This is our fun spacious kitchen & breakfast nook (foreground, but hardly visible). To the left is the hallway off the front entrance.


Upstairs is the bathroom, two bedrooms, study & this beautiful add-on excercise room (it will be partly excercise room, partly crafting room. Yay!!)
