The garage sale was a success! It's all gone. Sunday, we took a full truckload to Goodwill. We made lots of money! Afterwards, I was walking through the house and realized that we have so much more still to get rid of. Oh well. Maybe next year we'll have a smaller garage sale (not so labour intensive for me!). Fun! Things people are looking to buy: old coins, vinyl, cassette tapes (go figure) and turntables.

IS happening this Sat. Aug. 27. Although it is calling for rain, I'm hoping that Mother Nature is on our side and holds off until 3pm for the showers. That would be nice!

Up for grabs:

90 gal fish tank with all acoutrements, smaller tank with filter, pump and some other items, luggage, bags, roller blades, clothes, a desk (we bought a new one!), a wall unit, king size bed with night tables, double size bed with 6 storage drawers in the base, dishes, kitchen items, pictures, linens, crafty items, a living room chair (vintage)... and so much more! This Sat. Let's say 8:30 - 2. :) Ross is also destashing so I'm sure there will be plenty for the men!

Funny how this one worked and the last 6 did not.

An amazing family. Dad, Mom and 2 daughters all knit. It's a beautiful thing. Visit them at lusciousgracious.com. I found the trip both moving and inspiring!

I won't spoil the surprise...

AMEN.

I'm thinking of making this "Big Teacup" Tea bag holder for the big Christmas party at work. I actually get two parties every year. I thought this one would be fun!

Got kids? Got Lego in the house? Why not make a ball winder? I think this is genius! Hubby would even WANT to make me one! (although, I already have the Brother.)

If you have some Knex leftover from childhood (did they have this in Canada? Or was I just too much of a girlie girl to notice?) If you have Knex, you can make this lovely yarn swift!

And, I might add that Craftster is my new best friend ;)

I hate when you write out a long post and this $%^&*#@ thing gives you a ^%$#@* error and everything that you spent a ^%$#*& hour typing is &^%$#@ lost.

DAMMIT!

Poor Ross and all the other cyclists doing the Tour For Kids! Enough with the rain already!

"Two-day regatta attracts 4,000 participants from across Canada next month"

The surprises are up on Knitty...

We finally agreed upon a date. Saturday, August 20.

Just some of the things up for grabs:

coffee maker; dishes (and possibly a set of china ); bookcases; fish tank and some acoutrements; wooden futon bed frame with storage drawers!; a king-size bed with head board and drawers that attach to the headboard for night tables - also includes box springs (I'll take $75 for the bed!); wall unit; plant pots; some speakers; luggage, laptop bags, more bags; chairs; and hopefully I can convince him to put out computer & stereo stuff!

The more I look around my basement, the more I realize that this is the BIG one! And all are welcome :) We can have a bbq!

This Happy Sun is adorable!
