The kitchen floor, a poncho, a scarf, a hat and some lip balm

You should be proud, look at all the stuff I did this week!

First off, the kitchen floor (I didn’t do all this myself of course.)

I made 25 tubes of lip balm and they’re already sold.

I knit this scarf for myself. This will soon be avaliable to purchase.

I finished this poncho for my cousins daughter, Taylor. I had Madison try it on to see how it would fit Taylor and now I have to make her one too.

And finally, a hat for my step sister in law to be.

    Holy cow! I’m not sure what I want to comment on first….How great your kitchen looks or how productive you’ve been. C’mon spill your secret! I’m going to make the lip balm too – someday very, very soon lol.

    Oh my! You’re on a roll! First of all I love, I mean LOVE your kitchen. You must be really happy with it. Second, I’ve been wanting to make your lip balm ever since I first found your site (through Dooce) and now I’m really doing it. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the great directions and pictures!

    My jaw actually dropped when I saw your after pictures of your kitchen. Amazing!

    I was wondering where you recommend going for lip balm containers. Either the stick containers or the little pots would be fine to me.

    Keep up the wonderful work!
