I do love my tulips. Especially the ones that aren't pink. I opened the drapes in my room today and saw these, threw on my crummiest jeans and ran out to take my photos. This kind of view of life on earth can really give me reason to live if I am in my darkest days (which I am not).
Finally, here are baby Hannah's pants before I took out the eyelet trim on the legs
It just took forever to fix those derned legs. The eyelet trim was not a big deal actually, but the pattern didn't make sense for the 0-3 size for decreasing the stitches down the leg, not without the things being long enough for a 2 year-old. I retreated to knitting some more on Obstacles, but not by much, as yesterday was chaotic and a Japanese class day (which for some reason is always chaotic).
I'm on a "How Clean Is Your House" jag in a bad way. Okay good way sort of. It got me off my can late last night and I cleaned my toilet and kitchen sink real good. Oh do I have a long way to go, but I know my house isn't as bad as the candidates in view on that show. Now I really, really want to redo the floor in my bathroom because the vinyl has shrunk and was cheap and put in badly by somebody who lived here before we moved in and... it looks like hell, frankly. Especially the glue on the wall where the plastic baseboard was adhered to it. Oh I must add a pic. First is the view before I spend about 2 hours with extremely toxic adhesive remover:
Now the lovely view after the adhesive is removed:
In order for me to get a new floor in, I must remove the last of that gunk, and the windows must be wide open. In other words, summer. Last summer I was dealing with a whole lot of other things, much of which had smells of a more organic type, so doing the bathroom was out. I know I can remove the rest of this gunk now, but I don't know how to deal with the toilet removal and replacing. I think this is the project we may do with some of the money that GW wants us to have. The rest will go into savings.
