It's official, the Yarn Harlot can do anything!

Not only a book; you're qualified to have your own show.

But I need my mitten fix :D

Go you!

I would offer to come over and help, but I am spending the afternoon working on my Snowdrop Shawl.

A grrls gotta do what a grrls gotta do.

If you had your own handy-person show, I'm sure you would be much more competent and much more interesting than Mag Ruffman appeared to be on her show.

Hey, how did you get Sarah Jessica Parker over to your house to put up walls? Oh, wait-its Stephanie! Seriously, your hair looks great-and you work that drill, girl! ;-)

The multifaceted Harlot. You go, girl! Get those walls done.

The Harlot with power tools...the world quakes with fear...

very SJP hair! mehtinks DIY suits you, no?

Good luck with the walls - love your hair.

The Harlot, with scrumptious hair, using not only power tools but a *level* as well while installing drywall! Does Joe know this about you?

My superpower lies in my ability to resist the yearnings of home improvement with guiltless ease and head back to my little Baltic Mitts of Lust corner to concentrate on these braids.

you are putting SJP to shame with the hair. No way her's would look as good while doing manual labor :-)

Definitely Sarah Jessica Parker hair. Now all you need is a cigarette, some funky clothes, and $400 sandals, and your impersonation would be complete. Either way, you're way hotter than Bob Villa. :)
Congratulations on your near-walls.

But how long until she reconfigures that drill to spin or wind yarn?

Go Stephanie, its the only way things get done in my house too, Cool hair.

Sarah I didn't know you could install walls too !! Way to go yarn harlot ! Is the yarn in the corner some where ? Tee hee !
Happy drilling,
Kim O

Oh yeah, hair looks GREAT!! :)

Love the hair! Power tools make a great accessory, too ;-)

I don't know, Stephanie -- just because you don't want snow in your kitchen you're depriving me of my favorite afternoon break? Geez. . .oh yeah, your hair does look terrific.

Move over Tim, The Tool Man, Taylor!

...I never liked that guy anyways. Way to go Steph!

You know - you can also use a drill to make twisted braid in short order.

Great hair, by the way.

Does this mean you want construction tools for Christmas instead of knitting tools and yarn??????

Women with power tools make me feel empowered. I never could understand how some women haven never learned how to use tools. They're so handy. Of course, if you watch Trading Spaces, you know that carpenters are dead sexy, too.
Excellent hair. Anyone ever notice how Ty Pennington has highlights? His house was on Oprah, too. Very nice place he has.

Gotta LOVE power tools! I don't use mine as often since I married a carpenter. :)

It's like if Bob Vila looked *exactly* like SJP. And could knit. :) Rock on, mama...that's sheetrock, you know.

We will use your gift of time not spent chuckling at a long Harlot missal *wisely*, right??? We will use this time to knit all the loomy holiday projects, not aimlessly wander around online and look at yarn porn, right???

Dang. We went out for a coffee and got caught by all the shiny strings in the pretty store windows. Another afternoon shot, and the tension on the procrasto-wheel tuned up another notch.

Yay you and making progress. I can *see* the back of your house!

The grin says it all..."I can do this, and I can do this MYSELF and don't you DARE TAKE THIS DRILL AWAY FROM ME because I can do this myself!"

Watch out! She wields a drill AND dpn's!

Is that *with* mousse or without?

How on EARTH did you get Sarah J. Parker to work at your home? You must know people!
Happy Hammering. Or screwing. Whatever.
:)

I kept hunting thru that photo looking for the yarn you had hidden somewhere. Like it was "Where's Waldo" or something. :)

Dude, I would GIVE UP yarn for that hair.

Are those Manolo Blahnik or Jimmy Choo carpenter boots?! Hats off to anybody who undertakes her own home improvement projects--Godspeed!

Have you SEEN the back of your house?!

ps hair is faboo. Wish I had curls

Hello - Harlot? This is the Second Latvian Mitten calling. I understand that you have a "back of the house issues" (like most females I know), but I'm feeling a bit rejected. You seem interested, we ahve a wonderful time together and then you drop me for what? Some walls? Screwing screws into plain vanailla boards/ I don't understand? Please call, we need to talk and sort things out. I hope we can get through this.

Thanks,
Second Latvian Mitten

That picture of you with a drill and evil grin made my day. You don't do anything halfway, do ya?

But ... there was no beep! Have your machine call my machine. Blog tag. Except I have no blog. :(

I'm thinking you make Martha Stewart (pre Camp Cupcake) look like a wuss...the little she ever knit was baby stuff..as in pure simple...nothing to it.

Actually, more like Norm Abram. Bob Vila was fired from 'This Old House' for incompetence. So you see, you're even BETTER than Bob Vila! And you most certainly have better hair :)

You go girl! take that! back of the house indeed - she knits, she writes, she constructs and she blasts spammers - what more can you ask for - have a great one

The lady is armed, but not dangerous. ;)

Damn girl! You're so ambitious! Way to go! Can't wait to see the finished result! Bet you can't either, huh? :)

Hello YH. It's Cherish calling. I'm looking for my blog fix. I understand if you can't come to the blog right now, but when you can...give me something to read. I'm sure you are using the 'time off' constructively.
ps. Your to do list is shortening on the back of your house but lengthening in knitdom (a happy knitting place where we all live).
pps. the ugly green monster of jealousy is fuming over your drop dead gorgeous hair!

Great hair! Good luck and come back soon!
