What a busy month it’s been … almost half of September is gone – craziness. 🙂
We moved to a new house – the owners of the previous house wanted it back so we had to move out. (one of the big disadvantages of renting) However, it’s actually a much better location for us. This house is bigger with a huge unfinished basement where the boys can even ride their bikes when it’s raining outside. One advantage is that I will have a whole craft room just for myself haha 😀 There is a den just off of the kitchen which has a door and it’s basically a separate room that I can transform into a craft/sewing room. There is tons of space for yarn storage too. I can’t wait to put it together. 🙂 Then off of the main floor, we have a big patio and just look at this view… I can spend all day on that patio.
Last week my husband and I decided to bring the kids to Belcarra Park for a picnic dinner. It was such a warm evening. It made me realize for the 1000th time what a beautiful place we live in.
While I’m still slowly unpacking the house, I am also trying to work on a few knitting projects. I just started another hooded baby sweater with this Paton’s Denim-y yarn in Khaki Beige Denim. It’s turning out beautifully. It can be worn with so many things and it’s gender neutral. I can just see it on top of jeans or darker khaki pants and a nice soft t-shirt underneath. Or combined with a warm corduroy skirt, matching leggings, and a baret. Pigtails are a must 😉
PS. Do you also use scrap yarn for markers? 😀
Glad your new move is better one. The craft room sounds like it will be nice. You must show pictures when you get it all set up. Nice view from your patio. Looks like a beautiful place to sit and knit and enjoy the view. Good luck with all the unpacking. That is quite the chore.
Thank you, Ginny! Yes, the view and the craft room beat the work it takes to unpack haha 😀
Good luck in your new home! It sounds wonderful.
Thank you so much 🙂
I crochet but still use leftover yarn for marking. An entire room for crafts! It must be heaven.😊
I can’t wait to put it together. 🙂
I like my scrap yarn markers. They are easy to use and are so colourful sometimes 🙂
Yes, I use scrap yarn for markers. 🙂
So easy and fun, eh? 🙂
Good luck in your new home and yes, I only use scrap wool for yarn markers because I haven’t found any proper markers that I really like 🙂
Thank you so much.
I actually prefer using scrap yarn. That’s what my grandma and my mom do. I like it 🙂
I know all about moving…wonderful when its over and done with ;o) I wish you and your family a very happy new home. Beautiful photos!!! Cheers, Johanna
Thank you so much, Johanna! I’ll be very happy when unpacking is done lol 😀
It’ll be great for you to have a craft room. I just moved as well. About a month and a half ago. There is a room waiting for me to fix up into a craft room. Can’t wait!
Whooohoo! Congrats! Sending you crafty energy for your new room 🙂
Thank you for the like on my first blog post. I like what I’ve seen of your blog so far. I’ll be back. 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 welcome to the blogging world. 😀
So glad you have room in your new place for crafting! Wow us soon with your creations.
I can’t wait!! 🙂 😀 and Thank you for you sweet words 🙂
I am hoping to move soon too, and when we do, the new place HAS to have a craftroom. Already told the hubby it’s non-negotiable! Enjoy yours to the fullest! 🙂
I like the way you think. A craft room is a must. Period. I hope you get one very soon 🙂
Good luck in your new home!!! Everything happens for a reason, craft room sounds fabulous!!
Thank you 🙂 Yes, I truly believe that 🙂
What a fabulous view from your patio. I have a craft room in hindsight we should have made it twice as big! We did the move out and back a few years ago to do a huge renovation/extension. The packing and unpacking is a chore – but it is also a great way to rediscover old treasures 🙂 Have fun setting up your room and if you are like me it will be an every evolving room.
Oh and I use little pins I was sent with some yarn when I purchased from another ravelry user – no idea where she got them but they do a fab job.
Thank you 🙂 I do look forward to setting up my craft room but I agree with you – it will never be completely done 😀 I’m sure it will change many times.
What a great gift to receive with you order – I’ve never used pins but I am sure if I receive them as a gift, I’ll put them to a good use 🙂
Wow- maybe you didn’t want to move but it seems like it was well worth it, what a beautiful spot! Plus a craft room!!
Thank you. 🙂 Yes, everything happens for a reason and I absolutely do NOT mind having my own craft room 😀 hehe
lol I bet you don’t!
Blessings come when we least expect them. Sounds like the move was one. craft room? Wheeeee. Warm wishes and welcome adventures in your new home.~cheers
Thank you for the sweet words. 🙂 It really is a blessing 🙂 Cheers right back at you.
A craft room to oneself is a beautiful thing! Congrats.
Ahhhh my thoughts exactly 🙂
The park looks amazing and I would love a craft room to myself
Yes, I use scrap yarn for stitch markers and I’ll be starting a project (Hat) for my little niece in Toronto.
Aw so cute 🙂 share a picture of the hat on my Facebook page when it’s ready. I’d live to see it 🙂
Ok, I will.
Hope you’re enjoying your designated craft room! Yep, me too… I’ve got a couple different types of stitch markers, but prefer just a plain ol’ piece of scrap cotton 🙂 💜 Jackie@KWH
Thank you. It’s almost done and I’m getting excited 🙂
I find that scrap yarn is less in my way when I knit. I don’t even think about it 🙂
Yup, lots of creative fun you’ll have there! I love scrap yarn markers ’cause they’re simple, plentiful and never in the way 🙂 💜 Jackie@KWH
