Monet and Me

decided to give the kitchen a much needed facelift. Monet poses at the kitchen sink showing off the valance from the curtain set that had been in the Young One's bedroom. The valance also had a set of swags, but I didn't like the way they looked in the kitchen window.

The real makeover was changing out the old cabinet and drawer pulls. I found these funky, mismatched, ceramic pulls on Amazon. They didn't have any sort of drawer pull to go with them but the knobs work just as easily for a drawer pull.

Monet helped me pack for another runaway week with Teague. This time, we'll be in the wilds of New Hampshire.

We're loving the little dishwasher. There are 6 different modes. Heat, Normal, Speed (shorter time for lightly soiled dishes), Soft (for fragile items), Baby Care/Heavy (for baby bottles or really grimy dishes), Fruit.

We decided to play with the fruit cycle to wash apples. The container to hold the fruit in the dishwasher also doubles as a fruit bowl. Pretty cool.

The Young One had asked me if I could send her crochet hooks. I not only sent her hooks, but I sent a bunch of yarn I had sitting around.

When she saw the skein of variegated blue, green, and purple, the colors reminded her of me. She crocheted an adorable, little cat which she named Monet. He was supposed to arrive in time for my birthday, but the recent CrowdStrike incident disrupted UPS shipping schedules. He finally arrived when I was in Ogunquit so I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got home.
