More paint

Ok so the hubby wasn't thrilled with the purple in the hallway. So we changed it on Wednesday night. (Starting to not like painting so much but getting pretty good at cutting in.) So the hallway is now a beige/peach color like the giant wall was when we moved it. I got the color matched at home depot. It looks pretty darn close but not perfect. Good thing the two walls are next to each other. We also made the half way all green. Pictures didn't turn out so well but here you go.

As you come up the stairs:


Looking down the hallway:


The half wall:
In other news, I got a great swap package from the bulb swap that ran on the Healing after Pregnancy Lost group on Ravelry (background blog post). Thanks to AKFrog!

In the box:
Dutch Iris
Hyacinth
Gloves
Dog treat dispenser
Balls for the dogs
Yarn - Purple Lopi Reynolds
sheep measuring tape
scissors
plant markers

Milo enjoyed the balls that came in the swap.



In knitting news, I haven't made my own nanners yet from WendyKnits pattern. But due to some good luck on my part and a crappy swap partner on Stephanie's side, I inherited a pair. So cute and comfy. Steph made these out of panda cotton.


Finally I made a killing at the Finger lakes fiber festival without even going. Heather aka Daisymoms was my personal shopper for the weekend and came back with 4 oz of Blue Face Leicester, 2 oz wool/silk blend, and 4 oz fine alpace/silk blend. I'm in heaven. Now I just need to finish some of my holiday knitting so I can get back to spinning.
