embracingcalmHe fixed the carpet. After a long drawn out fight that may have damaged our relationship we found a way to fix the issue…. He feels sad and humiliated. I feel like a complete jerk for hurting his feelings. Let us never speak of it again.
We walked Alfonzo right before bed. He’s a bit afraid of the dark so but I want to get him over it. I also walked him when I woke up sometime before 6am. He was slow and a bit stubborn but he made a go of it. I walked him back. I’m fine with that. He’s a Shihtzu… and sort of a small one at that. My phone died in the middle of taking a photo of this morning’s sunset but I still managed to get a neat photo to inspire a bit of art. I have made the inside turn of four granny squares with the yarn I’ve thrifted. It’s fairly soothing. I like it.
We plan to finish rearranging the bedroom today. There were several pieces of memorabilia we had in the front hall. When we first moved here those items in that placement helped to make it feel more like home but now it’s now needed. So, either plan to move them into the bedroom where we’ll enjoy them more.
We have two large-ish matching chairs in the living room that we’ve decided to remove in favor of floor seating. Currently the chairs mostly hold clothes or are occupied by pets. We tend to sit at the kitchen table. My eventual goal with that space once the chairs are gone is to add a handmade braided rag rug and some floor pillows. That way it will serve us better as an art space, micro dance hall and yoga studio. Having the center open will also improve acoustics when we have music on.

I have already deconstructed it , cut it into sections and dyed all but one the sections different colors to match the art in the room. Next I need to dye the last section and cut it all into strips.
