Today, although Valentines, is my normal shopping day. Told DH there was no way I was going to the grocery store. It is also Presidents Day Weekend and the beginning of Parade of homes. We did do a few small errands together and then he left me to my own devices.
Mentioned to D H that I couldn't find my table top and asked him if he had any idea what happened to it. He said no, and a light bulb went off. I know at one time he put a board under the mattress for his back. I mentioned that and he agreed that might be what happened to it. Sure enough when we got home there it was. It was even painted like I remembered. I am very happy that I don't have to buy a new one.
Went back to Lowes to get the hardware for my desk. I haven't been able to find what I bought yet. A really nice young man helped me find the right size hinge for the table legs so the will collapse. He asked me if I had any braces to keep them up when I had the table set up. Hadn't even thought if it. He found some collapsible braces for me. Even though I had to buy another package of hinges, it was worth it for that hint.
I took the paint samples from the craft room to JoAnn's Fabric. I wanted to be able to match the colors for my knitting needle organizer. That is the other thing that isn't working. I have at least 2 sets of most of the knitting needle sizes. I usually have 3-5 projects going at the same time. I made a roll up organizer for them about 10 years ago, but I have outgrown it. I hate having to paw through them to find what I want.
I saw a cool idea from Etsy, but the owner was sold out. It was very similar to what I had already done, but on a larger scale for over the door. This one has a top row for crochet hooks. I probably won't put that one in. I don't crochet much anymore. I will do one for double points, cables, short and long needles.
I'm making the back of it yellow and the pockets will be two different patterns of orange. I decided to bring in a third color after all
I also went to Michael's and picked up the second thread rack.
