So here’s just a smattering of what I’ve been up to recently.
And boy, is there ever more than that… woo. I didn’t document a lot of what I’ve been up to these past few months! But there will be more. Oh, yes, there will be more.
Literally!
V-man, being a Miami boy, hasn’t gotten this whole ‘seasons’ thing down yet. So for some odd reason, the sun rising at 4:30 am bothers him. Imagine that!
So, while at JoAnn on a quest for a $1.50 piece of plain white cotton, I discovered that all of the red-tag home dec fabrics were 50% off. I hadn’t done anything about the light situation prior because a) it doesn’t bother me, and b) curtains and home dec fabric are expensive. So, when I saw that sale, I rummaged my heart out.
I ended up with two fabrics – 4.5 yds of a polyester faux chamois material in a suede brown (this stuff is so soft – I have no idea how they do that. Fabric is cool) and 3 yds of a pintuck/embroidered poly satin. Ordinarily the suede would have gone for about $24/yd and the satin about $20. I got the lot for $19!
And later that evening, I had this.
They block about 90% of the light coming in (they need a valance I think… later), and the suede stuff goes all the way down to the bed, as you can see. That’s so light doesn’t peek out the bottom.
Needless to say, V-man got a better night’s sleep last night than he has at my house in easily 6 months. He’s quite happy with his new curtains.
Well, now to bed for me… I was dealing with a little inner turmoil (note to self: don’t eat that many honey roasted peanuts in one day), and now I think I can finally go off to dreamland.
Here’s to another week…
