Huzza Hufflepuff!





"You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil
"
The Sorting Hat











I either want to buy these or at least get the pattern from Ann Kingstone

Since I recently found out that I belong to the house of Hufflepuff :)

Yarn Storage




In a Pot

On a wall


In a rack

In containers


Under a desk
ohhh the endless possibilities of yarn storage.
no longer do you need to store your stash in a clunky blue storage bin!
I personally like storing away my stash in a couple
dresser draws.
keeps my stash safe from ella-roo my 3 years old German Shepard.
If i had the wall space i would love to store each ball of fluff individually in its own
container as shown above.

I must say tho that i wine rack seems to be a better idea for yarn storage then,
lets see a book self :P
So here's the question,
how do you store your yarn?

funky porch



So I took it upon myself to make over the porch that me , tails and mel share.


Starting with tea lights,moving on to pinwheels, next a table and presently a straw rug.



All the porch needs is a wicker love seat,
and some metal wall art installments.

owls


My apartment has become the roost of many decorative owls.
They cover my walls,live on my bookselfs, chill on the side tables,
perch on top of refrigerators and sit on our dinning tables.

More pictures of my feathered friends later
