It's officially finished!

I have finally finished painting.  WooHoo!  I have now painted every single room in my house.  Tons of work, hours precariously perched on extension ladders and scaffolding, but we love the results.  We also replaced all the mini blinds with 2 1/2" wood blinds.  Eh, faux wood but the look is the same.

Awesome husband replacing fan

We strapped the ladder to the scaffolding

New ceiling fan!

I still have the banisters to do but that will probably have to wait until spring.

Quick recap of November - Had 6 of my daughters friends from college for a weekend.  Lots of laughs and food.  All of them were wonderful.

Son turned 14. Yikes!  He wanted pi cookies.  I found a lovely copper pi shaped cookie cutter but it was $24.  Um, no.  So I made one.

I made it out of metal strapping.

The cookies turned out great.

Had to make a few ginger ninjas for one of my son's classmates - special request

All of those funny little eggs shapes now look like this - 

I finished the white top hat and it turned out so much better than the black one that I redid the black one.

I knit a scarf.  The pattern is awesome but it was wool and yeah, I know what happens to wool when you wash it but I did it anyway.

I still think it turned out pretty good.  I don't really like the leaves, I don't quite have that technique mastered but I'll wear it.  I might try another one with a different yarn.  Again, sometime in the spring.

Well, needless to say, it is December and I am decorating so I have to run.  Daughter comes home from college on Thursday, husband's office party the same day, and lots and lots of cookies to make!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
