Hello, lovelies! I have some exciting news. So, Chi and I have an apartment. And not just any apartment, but an apartment in San Antonio! Yes, yes, Miss Eliza Sea is leaving her beloved beaches. However, I won’t be too terribly far away, and there’s a river that runs through San Antonio! And the city is ever so lovely (Spanish moss covered-trees are everywhere!), and the apartment is absolutely swoon-worthy!
It’s a one bedroom in a really quaint (and pricey, but the apartment isn’t) part of the city. It has a gas (!!) stove, and the bedroom has TWO closets. Get this, one of the closets has a Built. In. Vanity. I called dibs, obviously. Chi would like it known that when she was making a video of the apartment to show me on her initial walk-through, she narrated it with “And this is your closet”. So it’s not like I called dibs on something she really wanted. I am so excited, y’all!
Moving is always such a pain, and my last move wasn’t the best. I’ve been sick this week, so I haven’t done near as much packing as I would have liked, but now that I’m on the mend, I’ll be packing with a vengeance! I’d like to document the decorating of the new apartment here. I’ve also been trying to spruce up the blog’s decorating. I can’t think of a header, or images, or whatever, so I have it on a very minimalist design for right now. I’m pretty sure most (any?) of my readers use the RSS feed, so I’m not too worried right now. I’ll get it figured out eventually!
I’ve been kind of obsessed with knitting dishcloths. Okay, so I’ve only been working on one right now, but I have several others lined up in my Ravelry queue. One of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2012 was to knit more, so I’ve been doing just that. Dishcloths are quick and easy to knit, not to mention portable, so I’ll be doing a bunch of those. I was thinking of matching my dishcloths to whatever color scheme I go with in the kitchen, but it really doesn’t matter. Besides, none of the balls of cotton yarn I already have would really match any sort of scheme, so why start now?
I have so many projects I want to do this year! Ric Rac is having a rug-a-long that I want to join. I’ve been wanting to make a rag rug out of jeans for forever, but I don’t have enough jeans or fabric to start. I’ve kept a few pairs that are too big/worn to wear, but it’s not enough. I’m also hesitant to start since I’ll be on a massive job hunt once I’m in San Antonio. Maybe I can get a job at a craft shop and teach classes and go back to school? That’s a thought. So much thinking to do!
Well Good Luck to for the both of you, San Antonio is a great place to live with.
