The needles are size 11 Caspian wood needles from knitpicks like the ones you'll find here:
Just click the picture...
I bought one set of these needles in size 11 as a gift to myself for finishing a large project. They were well worth the money! I love how the cotton slides so wonderfully off my needles.
I love decorating my house. This house particularly is quite the blank slate. The walls in our bedroom will be a light butter cream color with darker accents. I just need to work on the sticky stuff on the walls with Goo Gone. I have a couple areas done, now I need to move on and get more done. Unfortunately, once I come out of our bedroom in the morning, it is very seldom that I return until evening bed time. I need to be sure to work on our hide away, making sure to situate it and make it beautiful and inviting for me and my love. I've found some beautiful things to put over the head of our bed, bought them for us for Christmas and now I just need to find a weathered/antiqued board for the shelf.

Once we get our bedroom painted, these will go over our headboard. I am adding lovely and beautiful things that celebrate our marriage in our hideaway. Why? So it will be a peaceful haven and sanctuary from the world for the two of us to find solace. I hope to finish the bedroom in one month, complete with curtains, paint, clean, neat and tidy furniture (with the help of my husband ;0) ) and moving on to another room. LOL
I am so excited to get these changes done.
To be continued...
God Bless,

I have to ask what you are knitting? Love the color. Miss you guys!
I took my Christmas table runner off the table and put it away. I looked around at the lack of color and decided to start by making this pretty table runner for my table. It's very basic knitting with Peaches and Cream Cotton (I love natural fibers!), on a size 11 needle. I cast on 50 stitches, with the first 6 rows in garter stitch and the first and last 5 stitches on each row, but a stockinette stitch. I'm just using up 2 balls of cotton for this very basic, but pretty, table runner. I've taken it with me to appointments and tonight to church while I wait for choir to start or to wait for the kids to get done with youth group. Many people stop by to tell me about their grandmothers knitting, a little girl who asked her Momma to come talk with me, or a little boy who asked me to make him one of whatever it was I was making. It is truly a conversation piece!
Wish we could visit soon! Will email you when we're coming back up.
Miss you guys lots!
God Bless,
Regina
