House Updates

There has been a lot of work going on right now in the house. Thanks to dad and Rob getting to work. A few picture updates of the bathroom and the closet downstairs (the closet to close in the furnace and hot water heater).

FO Spring Forward Socks

I finally finished these socks. The Spring Forward Socks from Knitty. These socks are made with Seattle Mariner's colored sock yarn that my friend Becky purchased for me at the Stitch and Pitch in August. It's really nice hand died sock yarn and matches the team color perfectly. If you are on ravelry, you can check out the sock details here.

Bathroom Pics

I realize it's been 10 days since I last posted. My parents got here without any problems and despite them being sick, we've been having a lot of fun. I forgot my camera on our trip to Victoria, but we had a good time anyway. Taking the ferries are always a special treat for us and for our visitors. You just can't beat that scenery.

In the meantime, I took some pictures with my new lens. I'm not that skilled yet with my camera. I do think it's cool though, that you can see so much more depth with these photos of stewie and brian.

Saturday Bathroom News

I'm trying to post a lot of pictures of the bathroom while we are working on it so everyone can see the progress that we are making.

After Rob stayed up most of Thursday night to finish the tile installation (I helped on the subway tile). We decided to take Friday night off so we could let that tile sit for 24 hours. Instead we had a bottle of wine at home and then went out to listen to some live music at a small cafe in Madrona that we like. It's called St. Clouds. They had good music and I had a great Festivus Sidecar, which was awesome.

This morning we got up, took a dip in the hot tub, and ran to grab some paint. We went down to Benjamin Moore and instead of the typical Historical Colors that we have used in every other room in the house, we decided to get jalapeno pepper color. Here are some pictures so far.

Bathroom Madness

Well we're still working on the bathroom and I don't know why we always bite off more than we can chew with home improvement projects. Mom and Dad Raspor will be in tonw Thursday of next week and we'd like to have the upstairs bathroom at least functioning so we can leave them to the bathroom in the basement.
It's fun when my parents come to town because we get to put my dad to serious work. We have a whole list of projects that he can work on during the day and hopefully we have some fun too! Here are some updates of the bathroom so far.
