I think the vintage knitting project was just what the doctor ordered to get me out of my slump. I'm currently working on some fun cabled gloves from a 1944 booklet.
DH loves to make Adirondack chairs from recycled wood (old skids). All our friends have some of his chairs painted in very bright colors. Here's his latest FO. This photo also shows the trombe wall in our passive solar house. Look for the black brick inside of the window. The brick heats up and releases heat inside the home at night. Great in winter but less wonderful in summer. Supposedly the sun's angle in summer will keep it from heating up as much but it still gets hot. We need to get outdoor shades.
