Later that day...

Well it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. There is one curtain panel DONE...well except for the hand-hemming I am going to do later. But we cut all ten of the panels in readiness for sewing in the next few days. "We" is my husband James and I, who was very helpful as a fabric-smoother-outer, baby-holding, t-square-measuring, morale-building, holder-down-of-the-fort-while-I-sewed. :) After we measured the initial first panel and its lining using a yardstick, t-square and calculator, James commented that it is funny how what would be "so manly" if it were being done with wood is so NOT MANLY just because we're doing it with fabric! So true, right??

Here's the WIP here in my studio.

In the middle of my curtain-sewing, tragedy struck! Here is Raychie's hippo (a.k.a. "Hippy") who is much beloved and somehow managed to get a hole in his neck. So the curtain-sewing HAD to stop so that Hippy could be mended. After all, to a four-year-old, Mama's sewing abilities are worth a hill of beans if she can't fix Hippy's hole in his neck! Curtains are pretty and all, but come on! Priorities, Mama!

Here's a happy Hippy and a very happy Raychie....

Can't wait to get some more curtains done so that we can pull down the temporary window coverings....plastic drop-cloths. Ick.

Tonight I'm going with a friend to see a movie and drink a Jamba Juice for her birthday. Then we'll probably get cold and need to drink a Starbucks in order to warm up. ;)

What are YOU up to, Sweets?
