Lap Afghan

This is my latest lap afghan I made to give to the seniors in my area.

I can't remember where I saw one made similar to this one, there wasn't a pattern I think I just saw a picture and thought it looked cool.







I need to find a better way to photograph my afghans. They look so blah just laying on my bed.

So Ann, if you have any good ideas I would love to hear them.

Closet redo

It's been a while since I posted anything just because I'm lazy about posting, not because I've been sitting around doing nothing.( My inner child is going ya huh!)

This long Labor Day weekend was anything but labor free. I know you're supposed to take time off to relax and recharge, but we don't seem to follow any of the hard fast rules of life so why start now?

Any who this is what we did.






This is after we removed everything and knocked down the wall. Forgot to take a before pic. Duh!

When we remodeled the laundry room we decided this little area would be better if accessed from the closet. (meaning it was easier than trying to make what we had look good.)







Removed 2x4's on floor and walls then put up sheetrock on back wall where 2x4's used to be and now it looks like it was done this way on purpose. HA!



Then we painted everything and put the floor down.








Put old shelves back in, not freshly painted, because I didn't want to wait a week before setting anything on them. Besides you won't be able to see them when I am done anyway.



Are you ready for this?




This is what was in that 5' x 5' closet minus the bed.







Yes there is a bed in there and a coffee table and a chair and a night stand.








See! There is the bed.






So here it is all filled up.

















Ta Da!

And that's how you relax at the Miskell residence!


Have a wonderful labor day, no matter how you spend it.
