However it has mostly been for good reasons like our DD's 40th birthday celebration,
From this........with daddy
To this....with big brother......
Where does the time go beautiful girl..........
We've had visits by workmen for some renovations we're doing and, not so good, a battle (which I am pleased to say I won) with a pair of roman blinds for my son and daughter in law.....
Just a piece of friendly advise, don't ever try to sew the Velcro on the top of a 7'9" blind once the carbon poles are inserted.......a picture of me sat on my sewing room floor with my sewing machine trying to feed this through while working the foot pedal with my hand and shuffling backwards and forwards so as not to catch the poles on the walls must surely be enough of a deterrent!!!.....
Having said that, if you are making a reasonably sensible sized blind and want some tips how to make a really professional job, just check out these videos, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJGdLU3v2cI
I have done some in the past but have to say these instructions and the template you can find on Terrell Sundermanns own site, which not only tells you what size to cut your fabric, but also what other accessories you will need to complete your task, just by inputting the width and depth of the finished blind are amazing!
Only 2 more pairs of full length curtains and another blind to go........
And finally I have been making headbands for my Etsy and Folksy shops and managed to find a willing
model for them this time....
How cute is my great niece.......
OK, so next time I really will share the delicious cheesecake recipe with you........that is of course unless something else gets in the way!.........
