Taking a Break( if you'd like to call it that!)

I can only handle lace knitting for short periods of time due to the tediousness (is that a word?) of it, thus I have to have something to keep me busy in the knitting realm.... so this time I decided to try a slouchy beret-type hat. This is the Columbia Beret, minus the bow topper. I didn't feel like it needed it at the time. It will be great to have a hat to wear this winter when it's really cold here in the mountains .

On the homefront, I had the "great" pleasure of "getting" to paint the whole front porch. It took me five days. Why so long? This would include painting the ceiling the posts and the floor. The thing that took the longest was the ceiling. Getting paint dripping in my eyes, my hair and just generally all over me. I'm glad I won't have to do this again for at least another 3-4 years.

The ceiling looks as if it's blue but it's more of an aqua/seafoam green color. I love it. Everything looks so much cleaner and so new looking. Ahhh, the wonders of a fresh coat of paint! Until next time! Take care!
