Bill is working on getting the fireplace to the inspection stage and a test fire for the fireplace attracted a knitting wife and all four cats! I am busy designing an oak surround and mantel for the fireplace-we have picked out the tiles already!
PuffDaddy kept close watch on the sparks-he was quite mesmerized while the other cats settled right down for a nap!
I am knitting a free pattern using chunky yarn from KnitPicks. This cold snap will pass in a few days but it sure feels good to have the fire going in the living room-I have wanted a fireplace for all of our 34 years! Some dreams just never lose their appeal. (No, the wood stove doesn't count-it isn't a fireplace, you know.)

ReplyDeleteHorray for you! I love wood fires, and I would have been there with PuffDaddy watching the flames.
ReplyDeleteprogress - it's looking good! and no, I agree, a stove isn't the same, because you can't really see the fire! funny that the cat is so fascinated, but then so are many humans?
