new old desk, colorswap love!
i am very glad to have finished painting my desk. now i can finally get back to organizing, and more importantly, purging. now that i know how much space i actually have to store things, it's making it a bit more necessary to actually let go of things.

here are some before and after pics of the desk. i am loving it.





i left it out back to dry all afternoon yesterday, and i had my sewing machine on top of it, but when i took the machine off to take some photos, some of the paint came up with it! grrr. i touched it up and i'm going to leave the machine off all day today. perhaps i will have to put a mat down or something.

yesterday was a very "blue" day. after painting the desk blue, i came home from work to find a lovely blue package from my june colorswap partner becca - it even arrived in a blue envelope!



and here is what was inside:



what great stuff! ribbons, needle protectors, a new pincushion, some really cool tea, and the most amazingly soft misti alpaca yarn! she even suggested this pattern as a good way to use it...i love everything! thank you so much, becca! you were a great partner!
