Seeing visual progress on our various projects is really quite exciting. The pantry sheetrock has been completed and tomorrow Dan will be painting the room with both the primer and the final coat of paint. Wednesday we will get the flooring installed, and then we will get to have the fun of putting in all the floor trim.
Today we had to make a foray to the store to pick up the quarter round floor trim and some stain, and a brush to apply said stain. This is what I did for a couple of hours when we returned home late this afternoon. Looks good and it is much more economical than the laminate floor trim.
Smelly stuff, the Minwax oil based stain.
The other project that I’ve been working on is the lace shawl. I’ve finished the body of the shawl and I’m working on the top border. It will take approximately 13 hours of knitting to finish the border. Once the border is finished I will weave in all the loose ends and then I can block it. Perhaps by the end of next weekend. I’m really looking forward to see it blocked because then the pattern will truly emerge.

One might say Mishkin is lending a helping paw!!! Hahahaha.
