I have really good news. I have been working on my curtains for days & I am happy to say I have them all finished & put up. The windows we have here that we bought....ha ha hah are 5 inches longer than the curtain, so I ripped the seams out. The hard part it the thread was the same color as the lace & it was a boooger to get that job done. I think I put two little holes in the lace. That is pretty good considering I ripped 6 of them. They needed more length plus a casing. I used bleached muslin & tore it into 4 1/2 inch strips. I sewed that to the top of the lace & folded it over for a casing. They fit perfect. These curtains I bought 18 years ago. The valance I made 20 years ago when we lived at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. I am so happy to have them up. I told Larry I feel like I am closer to home all the time.
My next job will be clearing out my dining room. When you build a house or remodel....I feel like there is always building clutter. I work at it constant to keep it at a minimum.
About the only regret about building this house & it is our fault is we do not sit at the table any more for meals. I really have missed that. That is my goal....to be able to sit at the table.
After I got my curtains hung I worked on my nine patch quilt I am making. I am waiting for an order of fabric before I start sewing....hopefully the fabric will be here by Monday. I can not wait.
We are gradually getting warmer out side. Near 40 some in the day time & at night 22-28 deg. I can see the snow starting to condense & it wont be long & we will not have any snow.
Finally for the first time in 3 weeks I feel like living again. I love that feeling....to want to live. Life can be pretty tough....I can not believe it sometimes.
I am cheered up.
