Sammie’s Blog

Sammie added an entry about Sew curtains for the kitchen:

Took a little longer than I first thought – the top one was soooooo long, the hems took forever

I’m very happy with the result though. The red gingham curtains I had on this window had faded in the sunlight and were looking quite sad, so these lovely country ones jazz things up quite a bit.

Today’s happiness:

1. Getting up and going to the gym for a workout even though I didn’t feel like it (woke up with a toothache ) I walked up to gym with Jag in the sling and he had a great time stretching to see everything that we were passing. It’s a bit harder work than the stroller, he’s getting very heavy! But it’s kind of like walking while having a big cuddle.
2. Booked for the dentist tomorrow. Dentist’s don’t really scare me, but this will be the first time at a new dentist and I am in a fair bit of pain. But super happy that I made the appointment.

The fabric for these curtains has been sitting in my craft box for ages and I noticed it again today while tidying up the sunroom. It occurred to me that this is a “Finish what I Start” project, and so a few minutes later out it came. It’s only one window, so it shouldn’t take too much work to do.

So far I’ve measured twice, cut once and ironed and pinned all the hems – just getting ready to sew now. Can I get these done this afternoon? Can I finish what I start?

Sammie adopted this goal

Today’s happiness:

1. Watching all that decluttered stuff drive out of my driveway on the back of a ute. Priceless
2. Time spent in the garden with Jag, enjoying the winter sunshine. Such great weather for this time of year – the Ekka finished yesterday and we don’t seem to have had the usual westerly winds.
3. My wonderful hubby Tez went and got groceries while Jag and I walked down to visit Grandma. When we got home I discovered that he’d bought me not one, not two, but THREE treats. Love that man
