A big part of what makes my abode special and unique to me is the massive amounts of yarn storage. Instead of a picture of my apartment, which I am not taking because I still have not completed the great clean-a-thon of January 2008, I'll share a fairly recent photo of my coffee table - the one thing that's been constant in my own home since I moved out. I wanted this one Ikea table desperately when I moved to Bloomington, but wasn't sure I could afford it. One visit back home with my car, I did purchase it. My best gal Sharyn and I put it together the day I drove back (in hindsight, a terrible idea... but we did a great job!). It's been with me in every house of my own since- first there in Bloomington, then in Rockville, and now Bethesda. If/when I move again, it will be there, too. It's not gorgeous wood or anything, but it is so homey to me. And you can't argue with that many shelves of yarn storage! My parents offered me their 3 piece Ethan Allen living room table set, and I had to turn them down. Their tables don't even have drawers!
There's yarn hiding in all those baskets, and my swift and ballwinder are on the middle shelf. There's also sheet music in the binder, nail polish for my girliness, a coaster because I care about things like that, and the toe of Jamie's boot. Because as strange as it seems, he's already home to me.
A quick peek at my last few abodes:
Rockville, circa late 2005/early 2006
Bloomington, circa November 2004
Mom & Dad's in Ellicott City, November 2003
