No carpet for you!

So, I know I whine a lot about being a SAHM. I do, however, know there are some perks to being one. First, I don’t have to grocery shop when the rest of the world does. I stroll down empty aisles while my child runs around helping me pick things out. This would be unimaginable on Saturdays or Sundays. Second, I do all of the mundane household activities during the week. No mountain of laundry to say Happy Weekend to me on Saturdays. No toilets to scrub. No vacuuming to be done. I get it done during the week. You would think I would have plenty of time to knit, yes? Not when you are crazy DIYers.

Our stairs. Naked and cold. We ripped the carpet off last weekend because we are going to make them hardwood. There is another flight going up, but I will spare you another boring picture. Not a hard project – especially when honey bunny does all the work and I stand there and cheer him on. It will be nice to no longer have WHITE carpet on our stairs. The people who lived here before had no kids and were apparently much cleaner than us. :)

I am past the heel on my first Nutkin and half way down the foot. Tomorrow I am having a knit night out come hell or high water since I haven’t been in a few weeks. Maybe I will finish it and give you a peek. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I think spring is officially here.

  1. 1. will you come do my stairs when you are done with yours? Or, actually, will your husband? Mine will happily fill in for you and cheer him on. ;) 2. I have been a knitting fiend tonight and I am also halfway through my foot. Maybe tomorrow I will knit and think of you and your knit night.

  2. I hated having carpets on the stairs -much, much easier to sweep than vaccuum. We have painted stairs and have had a problem with keeping ours from chipping, but I know other places don’t. Good luck

  3. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: our lifestyle is incompatible with carpet (especially white, which is what we have here). It’s excellent that Terry is so handy that way. Must save a bundle. Does it feel good to be planning those sort of we’re-staying-here projects?Oooo, a knit night. I am so productive when I can just knit for a couple of hours straight.
