I was at the dollar store & saw all of this furry yarn. Then I tried to keep myself from jumping up & down. I’d never knit with it before because I hate when I spend more on knitting than I do on food. So my mom & I decided to make scarves for Christmas gifts. I decided to use a knitting loom because we have tons of family & not a lot of time. Besides the fact that I’ve been stressed out lately & wrapping yarn around a peg is about all that I can handle
I’ve been looking around & there are even different stitches that can be done on the knitting loom, but most of the patterns are smarter than I am. So in the end I decided to ignore the fact that the dollar store also had very cute ready made scarves for sell & hopefully everyone will be happy with their handmade presents.

When we were building our house there were hundreds of decisions that my mom had to make in a very short period of time. I remember when she asked me what kind of Interior Wood Doors we should pick. She asked me out of all of the houses that we had lived in, which door had been my favorite? I couldn’t really remember & I didn’t understand how important this decision was. When we moved into the house I realized just how many doors we had & how important the style was.
It’s a small detail that should reflect the entire look of your home. I was looking at Hardwood Door & Bevel & was shocked at how many different door styles that they have available. When we picked out doors we only had a few to choose from. They even have several finishes to choose from, including a distressed alder finish that I haven’t seen it before. We still have to finish the rest of our basement which means that we will need to pick out at least one more door. It’s the attention to detail that really makes a house a home.
