The curtains are done!

[minxybaby]

We made some progress tonight. Hubby cleaned out the guest room. It had turned into a storage room (and Vicki's room). We still have to sweep and tidy in there and I'll have to wash the sheets on the bed because Vicki likes to sleep on the bed when we're not looking.

I hemmed the curtains we bought from Ikea. They hang on the landing to hide all our junk on the shelves above the stairs. They look real smart! I'm glad that's out of the way. I'll get pictures of it tomorrow (if I get a chance).

I haven't even started to sew the bunting bag yet. That'll stay on hold till after my mom leaves.

Still have to clean the bathrooms, and clean off the breakfast table. And yes, I still have to weed the gardens. :(

Been a busy few days.

I'm still getting used to my hair. It's still too short for me, but I am slowly adjusting to the feel of it. It never tangles, and it dries quick, so that's a positive thing about it. It is lighter too, and I'm saving money on shampoo. lol Oh and my husband loves it, so I can't complain about that! A few more inches and I will be able to fully accept it. lol

That's it for tonight. We're finally going to hit the hay after working around the house. Catch you all tomorrow!

We discovered that it's cheaper to buy premade curtains and hem them ourselves instead of buying the frabic and starting from scratch. I have made curtains from scratch before, but after buying the gromets and thread and everything it cost way too much. All Ikea curtains need to be hemmed. In every package they include a strip that you iron on the bottom to "hem" them, but I prefer to just sew the bottoms because it looks nicer and is more secure.

Our bedroom curtains are from Ikea. I sewed the bottoms of those too.

The outside striped curtains I just hemmed. The inner sheer curtains I completely redid. I cut the tops off and started from scratch. It was cheaper to buy the curtains that the fabric. lol

I'll post a picture of the new curtains I just did today. :)

I'm glad to hear...

...that you and your husband are getting a lot of work done around the house. *big smile*

But remember to take breaks, get a lot of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and just take it both slow and easy with the work.

"And another helpful hint from nurse Maddie..." *BG*

God bless and take care. :).
