That was Ian's reaction to the new curtains, George told me they "look really cool!". I feel 10' tall after that!
Here's what the room did look like
 |
| Pink velvet curtains, aren't they stunning? Constantly breaking hooks and they have a rip that you can't see here. |
The new curtains were one heck of a pain to make, but almost worth it for the reaction.
 |
| The new curtains closed and backlit by the afternoon sun. |
We still have to repaint the room at some point as Ian stripped the wallpaper off one corner, but this makes a huge difference to the room!
I also got some plying done, first bobbin of Alpaca Silk in the colourway Paua; though I'm calling it Glacier Pass.

| Alpaca Silk plied on the bobbin of my e-spinner |
Some yarn arrived today too, one I can't show you yet as it's the latest Vintage Purls sock club yarn, I will say it is beautiful though and I love the simple, but elegant pattern that came with it.
 |
| Peter Pan from Wandering Cat Yarns, this is for the test knit I'm doing for Val; the resulting socks will be for Thomas |
 |
| Cranberry in Tabby Cat base also from WCY, this was a thank-you from Val for the test knit, unexpected, but definitely appreciated (I knew it was coming, just hadn't expected that she'd tell me she was sending that too, thankyou Val) |
 |
| George's latest favourite thing, Hama beads. He's used most of the first set I got the boys and has now started on the second set. I've told him he'll have to use his pocket money if he wants more. |
