After a long “holiday” weekend we are all moved in and have made much progress with putting things away. Sadly, I have not touched a crochet hook in nearly a week. I did, however, make sure to keep all my yarn and hooks packed neatly and in a place where I knew I’d be able to find them easily so I should be able to get to them tonight.
We had some great friends to help us move and the new house is starting to feel like our home. Our pug was a little nervous for the first couple days… mostly because we had to lock her away in strange rooms while we moved so she wouldn’t escape or get kicked or crushed. She hates it when she can’t be by our sides constantly.

Right now I’m thinking about what colors to paint the walls. This is our first house and the first time I’ve been given the option to really decorate in a permanent way. Also, it really needs a paint job and I welcome the excuse to pick out colors. As an interior/crochet/general designer, I have color palettes swirling through my head all day as I walk through the rooms of the house. I really need to sit down with some samples, photos, paint chips, something so I can get a better vision of what I want to do. It’s a small house so I don’t want anything too dark but I also don’t want to just paint all the walls shades of beige and gray. Currently all the walls are cream-ish with hunter green (bleh!) trim in some areas.
This post (and the project) is getting long so I think I’ll tackle it on a room by room basis. I do have a few crochet project ideas that may play into the room decor. More to come…
