This weekend was nice

I had a wonderful relaxing weekend. I had a few plans with friends and of course Robert Gerard, but besides that I stayed at home, completely gutted my bedroom (except for the clothes in my closet and the top shelf that I reserved for another day) and made it look pretty. I threw out a bunch of crap that I should not have been holding onto and I bought an under the bed bin. Mind you I was hoping it would hold all my roving and at least some of my yarn but it was only big enough to hold my roving =(....I cant believe how much I have......and I am a little ashamed at how much money I spent on it.......I am not buying anymore until it is all gone, that is a promise! So I also started spinning a little on my drop spindle to get ready for my spinning wheel again.....I need to get the stash down to a manageable level lol.

The bins beside my door are gone (they held roving and took up alot of space) and everything looks much cleaner.....there is no clutter anywhere and what little there is I would like to get rid of also! Haha! Let me tell you what lit a fire under my ass to do all this........one word.....HOARDERS. That new TV show on A&E....it is awful! It is about people who are waste deep in STUFF and there are people who are trying to get them to throw things away and they CANT DO IT....like I am talking about 10 year old empty shampoo bottles that they simply cannot part with. I was watching it with my mom and I suddenly got up and had the overwhelming urge to clean my room and throw things away.....it was a spiritual experience haha.

When I was finished cleaning I sat on my nicely made bed and I knitted on my socks and watched supernatural.....it was lovely. I also started the seasons again...what can I say I am obsessed haha. I am knitting a pair of socks from the two-socks-at-once book. I am knitting them on one circular needle and is very tricky. The yarn keeps getting tangled and obviously the knitting is different because it is on one needle. The gusset looks the scariest....hopefully I won't ruin all my hard work by messing up!

I didn’t get to see Robert very much this weekend. Only Friday and for a few hours on Sunday which made me sad, I miss him and I don’t get to talk to him much with his new job =(..oh well...it will get better I am sure. I just hate missing him so much.....it is hard on my mental state.

Last but not least I would like to brag about a birthday gift I received from my friend Lindsay, a very talented artist who gave me the coolest drawing ever! She hung it is gallery first so it is all nice and framed and gorgeous hanging on the wall is my newly cleaned bedroom! Is is called "Ardent Love" and it is perfect =)

If anyone is interested in her art, please visit her website www.SmallLindsay.com or email her at Lindsay@SmallLindsay.com =) She does free lance work on the side while she works designing shoe graphics for Converse.....yeah she is pretty cool and I have a Lindsay original hahaha!
