16. Red!

Husband and I were chatting, and I mentioned I wanted to stop at a store to see if they had samples of flooring. (We are planning to floor our front room in the sometime future...)  He looked curious, and asked what I was thinking of. We found that as well as giving us different ideas on color, and style, they make great coasters! 

I said I would like to see if they have any red samples.  He looked at me, and I was quick to add, I want it for a coaster in my craft room.  Relieved, he said he didn't think they had it in red.  Bummer, said I, and we went on to different subjects. 

A day or so later, he walks in the house with an egg carton. On top of it, was a red square, like I had been thinking about.  He had used one of the squares neither of us liked, (They come in color groupings), and had painted it with a heavy duty paint.  I now have a nice coaster for the craft room tea! (When I'm not hiding it from Ding!)

So, now my tea won't make rings on the desk.

And, remember the Socks that I was knitting with 2 needles?  That I thought would take no time at all??

Ahem.

They don't, when you don't misplace the pattern, and forget where you put the project.  I need to photocopy the pattern and put it with the project, I guess.  But found both, and they are all finished.  My brand new Gryffindor socks. (The colors came out WAAAAY bright in the photo, think military or Canada Mounties, not day-glo explosion!)

And in other news, more of the hens are laying, so I guess they just decided to start early! One day we even had 4 eggs.  So, time for me to start looking at egg recipes again!
