Project Disaster & Success

Thank you Christopher Columbus for a day off! I can’t say just how much I love not going to work! I had Monday off and it was so super. I woke up with Justin like I always to but, cooked him breakfast. Nutritious and delicious! Worked around the house. Then Leigh, Laura (my new friend), and I shared a morning of shopping and lunch at Café Louisa. Yummy.

Leigh and I returned home and I was determined to finish up my sunroom curtains. So, I get them done and we go to hang them. The sheers are way too short. We didn’t think about the rod pocket taking up room. Genius! So I’ll have to redo those. We also hung the panels and they look blah. Just too plain. I also didn’t buy enough hardware to hang them. They definitely need help. So, I have one panel hung to get the feel for it and determine what needs to be done. I also have to let out all the seams I sewed by hand on the sheers and do them again. Thank goodness there is a big hem! So overall the project was a disaster!

Last night I decided that I needed to finish yet another project I started, but have not finished. I began this project for Leigh when she moved down the street. So it’s been going on since August. I saw the project on a photographer’s blog (surprise). It is four blocks of color painted on a canvas. The project requires only two colors. The blocks opposite each other are the same color. Each block has a letter, in this case an “L,” in the opposite color. Each letter is a different font. I told myself last night, “no more hemin’ and hawin’ around, Just Do It!” Well, I finished last night. I called Leigh over to see it. She was surprised and loved it.

Loooove your gift for Leigh. I can't believe you did that yourself! You're so crafty. Clearly, I have underestimated your creative abilities in the past!

Sorry about your window treatments! :( But kudos to you for doing them yourself...now that's talent!
