the title is a quote from my dear friend beth in reference to my notoriously sharp right elbow. it seems to break through its soft prison at any given opportunity. "i lose more shirts that way."

darn. even though i noticed this before i went to work, i still wore it, and i'm still gonna! elbow patches, anyone?

now our neighbors won't know what we have for dinner every night. :)

oh, and p.s. have i ever mentioned that windows are my least favorite thing to decorate in a room? grrr. frustration.

we ate our first meal at the finished table tonight. ben and i felt a little dwarfed when we found ourselves sitting really far away from each other—and, at a table that is the proper height. but these feelings of smallness were only caused by the fact that we've been eating at a too-short, too-small folding table for way, way too long.

love it. heartfelt thanks to our hardworking friend, bert, who fashioned the top for us. i hope to have this dining table for a long time.

just three coats of varnish (with sanding between) stand between me and the completion of a project that started last may.
