there's no day like a snow day

to get things accomplished!  luckily i had two snow days in a row, and m and accomplished quite a bit.

i made this hat... it's the first thing i've knit for myself, and the color just makes me happy every time i look at it!  

 and speaking of turquoise, m and i painted the guest room a rockin' teal:

i made these lacey curtains from fabric i got on clearance for $1!

they look nice and airy.

i've got the kitchen painted the new blue, and it looks ssssooo much nicer

i can't wait to get the cabinets finished and put a counter top in there; it will be a great space!

 and i began making some curtains for our bedroom out of this

beautiful damask fabric

we plan to paint the walls grey

the windows in here bother me a bit because they are not centered on the wall 

(previous owners added a deeper closet that takes up part of the wall)

 but i think if we do the curtains properly, you won't be able to tell... what do you think?

 quite a lot of work for a couple of days, no?
