Material Monday

My kitchen looks like a disaster area. I think I might declare a state of emergency in there. Not only have I ignored dishes for 2 days, I have spread all my sewing materials from the eat-in area into the kitchen as well. Think I can get some FEMA money to clean it up?

Well, today was spent designing curtains. I THOUGHT that I had the design I wanted yesterday. Then, after sewing the prototype, I decided to start over. So, I pulled out my home decorating books and found something better.

THEN my hubby pipes in and says what if you gave it a little textile contrast? I almost kicked him below his stomach. But he was right. It was too boring. But it made the project 16 times harder, and I needed to go get new fabric. Off to the store I went.

Then I came home and started sewing. And had one of these:


And sewed some more. And did some seam ripping. Then I sewed some more. All for one stinking curtain. But here it is:


Ignore the wrinkle, that will come out later. I just really wanted to see how it looked.

Hopefully I can get 2 done tomorrow. That is the goal.

I will need more alcohol though.

Off to watch Resident Evil with the hubby.

Goodnight.

Much Love,
