I am about a third of the way done with my latest knitting project! This will soon be a balaclava knit with brioche stitching and one of my resolutions will be complete! When I decided I was finally going to try a brioche knitting project I also decided I needed to have a balaclava and lucky for me Stephen West released his Brioclava pattern the week I was trying to figure out if it was possible to modify a single color brioche pattern into a two color brioche pattern. (I don't know if it is possible and it probably would have been too much for a first time brioche knitting project.) The ribbed collar is nearly complete and I get to start the brioche stitches next. Wish me luck!

New Yarn
New yarn arrived! Once I figure out the right size needles to use I’ll be starting another of my crafty resolutions, knitting brioche. Wish me luck on this new skill!

Furniture Onlays
The painted furniture onlays are now attached to my bed and I'm quite pleased with how it looks! I wanted to add a little something extra to my plain bed frame and decided on some furniture onlays to coordinate with my nightstand. The white paint is a bit more bright than bed frame, but the color difference is not that noticeable because they are close to the ground and in a shadowy part of the room. My next project for this room is to add another floating shelf! I've got lots of decor items and hardly anywhere to display them!

Painted Onlays
I bought these furniture onlays at the beginning of the year to add a little something extra to my bed frame and I finally painted them! The paint is literally drying in this photo. Next I have to sand down the wood filler that I added to hide the seam in the bed frame and then glue these pieces on! I hope I like it once it's done!
