Amazingly enough, I haven’t touched a paintbrush all week … except to longingly finger the bristles of one lying on my kitchen counter.  I have probably an hour or two of painting ready and it’s hardly worth making the trip out to do it.  So, I’ve been sewing curtains.  Those are not days of laughter and fun.  I love to sew.  At least I thought I did.  Yesterday I asked myself ten times (minimum) why I can’t be one of those people who goes to the store and falls in love with something on the shelf?  Instead, I start dreaming in my head before shopping and then either what I have dreamed of doesn’t exist in the store or it’s completely out of my price range.  Without second thought I load up on fabric and since it either appears easy or there really is no pattern like it, I decide to “just make it.”  That trait I inherited straight from my mom; too bad she didn’t think to also pass along the talent needed to accomplish it almost without effort.  Tuesday I was over halfway through with the valance part of the master bath curtain when I discovered I’d read the house plans wrong.  Smile.  Some windows on the plan are marked 3’0″ x 4’8″.  I can read that.  Some windows are marked 30×48.  I THOUGHT I could read that.  Since there were no inches or feet markings and no spacings between numbers, I assumed that simply meant inches.  And so, my deliberated over curtain was over four inches too narrow and definetly too short.  Not to mention, the curtains for Adam’s bedroom that took Mom, Chris, and I an entire day, are also to short.  Smile.  Fortunately I had enough fabric to start over with the bathroom curtain with only one splice in a hidden place.  Even so, I started sewing it together and realized the backing was going to end up upside down so I had to pick seams and start over.  Oh for a pattern with step by step instructions and diagrams!  Adam’s curtains remain on the, “wait til the trim actually gets put up then see how bad things are” list.  <\/p>\n

Good things did happen this week … like a SNOW DAY on Monday!  Since a picture is worth a thousand words, <\/p>\n

The exciting news of the month (actually maybe the year) is that my sister, Beth, and her husband, Kelvin, are expecting twins in August!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
