The sweater is FINISHED!

Finally finished and blocked the sweater I've been working on for my daughter.  The pattern is a Doris Chan's September Morn Jacket/vest.  She designed it using a Tahki cotton classic lite mercerized cotton.  I used  Panama which is a cotton, linen, viscose blend, by Rowan yarns.  The button is  made by crocheting over a plastic circle.

Since my flat pictures weren't showing much detail I threw it on the mannequin I use for tutu's.  I didn't get it on perfectly which shows more in these type of photos.  This is the first time I've made an adult size sweater.  I love the weight of this garment.

Again, it would have been so much nice to have pics of her in it, instead of the mannequin where it hangs up on every little thing being the lacy nature of it.

HOW do you get your house sold?

ARGH a little pirate speak here.  So frustrated on trying to get our house sold.  My realtor sent me a note saying that very few buyers are coming to the area overall.  We have gone through and re- stage several things, to improve the overall look.  The house is spotless. I'm actually considering painting the kitchen but no sure if I will.  Now that the weather is improving, we are working out in the yard.  I saw something that I found interesting on Today.  They suggested having 2 realtor's(from the same office) work for you, the one that sells it, gets the commission.  I'm seriously looking at this as a possibility if our house doesn't sell within the current contract.  I did send my realtor a note saying that at the end of the summer, we would probably take it off the market for a bit, so it didn't continue to look like a toad.  I mean if there's a fairy princess out there to give it a kiss by all means stop by and do your magic.   Does anyone have any good ideas for attracting buyers?
