Stitch Along: Week 12

An unusual Stitch Along start.....but it does tie in...read on.....

So we bought the house (finally) where we have rented the first floor apartment for 26 years!  The apartment is too small for us, but my husband will be inheriting his family home some time in the future...So we will move out there eventually.

This house is two family.  The upstairs apartment has been empty for two years.  We have a little updating to do before we can rent it.  The Hubs is going to be in charge of all of that....

BUT! in the attic, there is an extra finished room....and he said the other day, I should take it for my yarn/craft room!  I'm so excited!  It's a little rough around the edges, but some paint, a rug, some shelves...a comfy chair and a table and I'm all set! The Hubs is going to paint it a fresh yellow for me....It will be hot in the summer, but I have options for that....

We will move the tubs of yarn up there, he suggested I take photos of what is in each and label them all so I know (they do have labels, but they need to be updated)....I'm so excited...

There is a larger window to the right in that first picture.  It's going to let in a lot of light. Plus I'll finally have some place to block my knits...as right now I am using the living room floor of the empty apartment upstairs! LOL!!!

I also bought yarn at Stitches for two sweaters.  I had some of the yarn, but I needed the yarn for the body of the sweater....I had also ordered yarn for the yoke of another sweater...I better get on those...

As for stitching this week, it's been pretty much a dud.....but with a three day weekend coming up, I see myself getting my stitch on....we don't do much for Easter since my stepfather passed away and my Mom relocated to Florida.....but I am enjoying all the Easter candy, which in my opinion is the best candy out there!

So what have you done this week?  Link up if you would like...
