Ocean Breeze Shawl Complete

I was working on a Mystery Knit Along called Ocean Breeze by Boo Knits.  I used hand dyed silk yarn and silk/mohair yarn.  There are 1,000 beads in this shawl!  I am done with beads for a bit.  I really love the way this shawl turned out.  Here are some pictures:

This is the tussah silk mixed with mohair yarn I used.  It is hand dyed.

I will be wearing this shawl alot this winter!  I love the simmering of the beads-it will be wonderful for the holidays!

Completed Nightstand Makeover

John and I finished the nightstands last weekend!!  They look so much better in our room.  Here is the steps we took:

This is the nightstand before we started.

Sanding the finish off.

The nightstand all painted ready to take upstairs.

Tada!!  All done!

We added new handles and put a basket where the drawers used to be.  I love the white color!  Now I will be doing something fun with the lampshades.  I will post that when I have decided what I'm going to do with them.
