Craft Room Inspiration from Ikea

I recently visited my nearby Ikea to just for a stroll and I found this very cool craft room set up.  I will definitely be doing this the "next time" I set up a craft room.  I love the tall table, it's perfect for cutting patterns and sewing on.  There is also a very cool magnetic board with canisters to store all those little knick knacks and crafting supplies.  The cabinetry is also great for storing fabric, paper crafts and other assorted supplies.  Even if I cannot replicate this look in my craft space, I'll still be using some of the great ideas featured.

My First Attempt at Knitting Socks

I knew the day would eventually come when I would attempt to make a pair of socks.  I love sock yarn and can't seem to resist picking up a few skeins when I find them on sale, well a basket full of sock weight yarn later and never an attempt to do anything with it, I decided it was time to start.  Plus I thought it would a nice gift for a special person going on a big trip this year. 

This is what I've accomplished in between daily household chores on a lazy and rainy Sunday with Paton's sock yarn, size 3 double point needles and free pattern I picked up at Michael's but it can also be found on Paton's website. I wonder how long it will take me to finish a pair?

Happy Friday

Hello Everyone!!
I know, I know, it must have seemed like I just fell off the face of the earth, but in reality, I've been around, just too busy and distracted to blog. There are quite a few things happening in my life that I am unable to discuss as of yet, that have kept me away, however no more excuses, it's summer and the kids are home and I'm sure I can fit in at least one blog post a week again.  So forgive me, thank you for still reading and hope to see you again in the near future and Happy Friday!
