Around here

Lots and lots of little projects, a few big ones.

I am learning how to cook in our little kitchen and it involves a lot of balancing. I use the sink as counterspace, I use the stove as counterspace, I prop bowls in the dish drainer. It is interesting.

Circe has become the most cuddly dog on the planet. She tries to split the night evenly to be fair to both of us, so she starts out curled up against my stomach and then transitions over halfway through to hang out with D. The Thundershirt continues to be a success and we've found she doesn't even need it every night anymore.

Yet another kitchen shelf we installed, this one for our pots and pans. We used Ikea brackets and a piece of wood and then added the rail and hooks below. It's working out pretty well.

It's been way too long since I've tackled a creative project so naturally I decided to get into macrame. Hopefully I'll have some results to show you soon.

We found Brouweij West's Dog Ate My Homework at our local liquor store and I was thrilled. It was my favorite beer from the brew crawl last year. The bottle is not bad either.

The cabinets are  not entirely installed yet, but we are SO close and they are going to be amazing. D built these from scratch. He is pretty great.
