Dawn Brocco's Life & Design Blog

Am almost done with the last CIC vest. The others have been washed and laid flat to dry.
Should be able to get this box out in a couple days.

Then I need to get back to work - I have tons to do before June, when shops buy for the Fall season.

I have another booklet idea I need to work up as well as the 2-3 design collections I'm working on. All the while we're getting the house ready for sale!

So, today, I need to finish painting the trim in the pantry and start on ALL the trim in the Kitchen - 3 doorways, 4 windows, crown mouldings, baseboards, and a 3/4 wall covered in the original bead board (not the new stuff that's around), that hubby found when he gutted the kitchen ceiling. Underneath the wallboard was the bead board! As the kitchen had been extended off the back porch, incorporating it, yearssss ago, they used the back porch's bead board that was on the walls, to do the ceiling. Then later covered it all up. So, it was a nice find.

Not that we've had many nice finds. Most of our finds in this house have been of the "oh, no!" variety! The surprise, surprise, look what we gotta restore *now*, variety!

Maybe later, if my headache abates, I'll dye those 9 cashmere hanks in the lavender I've run out of, to make 3 more scarf kits.

The pinks aren't selling as well as the natural and lavender. I just love pinks, but I guess I'm the only one?! So, I'm considering using one of the pink yarns to do a sample for another design.

I also have a beaded design I need to work on. Best get back to work!
