A friend commissioned me to make four sets of my "A Girl's Best Friend" mitts for her nieces. I was going to use different yarn for each set, but my friend assured me all of her nieces would like the sparkly yarn. So I went ahead and made them all with Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn", which I don't love, but as acrylics go, it's not really as awful as Red Heart. I had thought about using wool, but I don't like to make stuff for other people using wool, unless I know for sure that they know how to take care of wool properly, and that they want to. So anyway, here's a pic of the four pairs of mitts!

I'm doing some research these days. Nope, not election research; got that done a while back, and voted early. Now I'm doing research about flooring. Hubby has finally agreed that we should rip out the carpet in our family room and bathrooms, and the linoleum in our kitchen, and the boring white tiles in our entryway, and get new flooring! I am so beyond excited about this! Soooo...
We're getting a nice neutral ceramic tile in the kitchen and bathrooms.....
Wood in the entry and family room....

And a gorgeous granite tile for the fireplace surround and hearth.

We have a wood floor and trust me, you will love it. So much nicer than carpet.
