5 sleeps to go
Until we get a new bed; so looking forward to that. We found a $2200 bed for $1200; it’s a King and we currently have a Queen so had to get new sheets as well. The sheetset we got will mean I have to convert the flat sheet to a fitted, but I’ve done that before. I think I’ll keep our old sheets and dye them and then make them into shirts; they’re 600 count egyptian cotton so I’m not getting rid of them!
Tonight we’re passing some of the time by playing Talisman with the family; I might try knitting when it’s not my turn but I’m not sure how that’ll go. I’d like to get a bit further on with Ian’s jersey.
I’ve also been looking into bench mixers; I’m currently leaning towards the Kitchenaid ones, they’re not cheap ($899) and the accessories are also not cheap, but once I’ve paid off the Visa I think it’ll be worth doing. Talking of paying off the Visa I spent more on it today; got 3 metres of cotton fabric to make DH a pair of trousers for the summer. Unfortunately I didn’t have anything suitable in my stash. I prewashed it today so as soon as I’ve finished my dress I’ll cut them out for him. I’ll be dropping a size in the waist for him as the last pair were a little loose. At the same time I’ll patch the knee of the moleskins I made him a few years back. This is the second patch on this knee, he loves those pants. I don’t know what he’ll do when they are irretrievable.
