Ikea and I mailed out the scarves
Jim made it to L.A. ok. I think he’s having a good time, as good as 3 days of training can be. I’m trying to talk him into making a trip to Ikea. There’s so much stuff that I’ve been drooling over that I WANT IT ALL!!!!! I do have to get a new desk though, Jim took mine to the office because it matched the desks they had down there. I think I just want something like this but with different legs.
I also want two of these arm chairs and this dining table set in the clear lacquered pine. I want two of the half rounds and one of the rectangles. Here are some cool chairs and so cheap! I also like these shelves. Oh and I’ve got to have lighting. How about these?
All of that would only be 740 bucks. Not bad huh? I heart Ikea!!!
Ok, now onto something that’s of interest to you. The scarf swap! I send out everyones packages on Saturday.
Here they are all lined up.
and here’s what I did with my squares. I made a knitting bag.
the back
and as soon as I feel it’s safe to get my sewing machine down (safe from Honor that is) to sew a liner, I’ll add these two squares to the inside as pockets.
Also, my friend Sarah is now TWO weeks over due with her second son. Keep your fingers crossed for her, she will be induced tomorrow if nothing happens beforehand. I can’t imagine how crazy she’s got to be going!

Someday I will have to tell you the story of the demise of all my glass vases, becasue they were sitting on a LACK shelf from ikea. Let me just say that plaster walls, giant wall ancors, and Lack shelfs don’t mix. Needless to say I gave all my shelves away.
I hope your not too lonely with out your husband:)

I got my Scarf Swap package today. Thank you for taking the time to organize this and for doing all the piecing together. I know it’s funky, but I think I could almost pull it off with a plain t-shirt and jeans… going for that crazy look. :)

I love the bag idea! I wouldn’t have thought of it my self, I’ll tell you the truth. I think I’m going to do that for sure. I won’t promise, but I will probably send you a picture.

Yeah-listen to Jo, she speaks the truth about those shelves. I haven’t put any up because you have to be really careful with your walls, especially if its old like my apartment.
