A New Look

Last week mom ventured to our house for a sewing marathon! Our sunroom has been lacking "real" curtains since it was finished last winter (unless you count sheets.....YES, sheets hanging from our windows as curtains!). We'd had the fabric purchased for a while, but just never had our schedules workout for this project to be completed. Mom was here for 4 days and worked long hours. Her second night we were up until midnight working! It's amazing how long and hard it is to make 6 curtains, but these are BIG windows. And if you know mom, you know how picky she is about EVERYTHING! I really enjoyed helping her out and it was fun to have her around!
Here she is pinning fabric.......lots of time was spent pinning, and repinning fabric! At her ole trusty sewing machine! I think we figured out her machine is over 37 years old!

Wah-la! The finished curtains! They turned out awesome! Thanks, Mom! :)

Yesterday afternoon I painted the wall above the fireplace in the playroom. I love the color! You can kind of see the old color in one of the photos above of Mom sewing, it was a green color (which I was never all that fond of!).
