Kid Stuff

 Check out the cool zebra curtain and matching valance.  I still need to add a bit of teal trim on the bottom and paint the brackets, but other than that, it is done.  I'll have to go up and put all the outlet covers back and clean up the debris after dinner.  I really hope it doesn't give Sydney strange safari nightmares.

While I was putting the bedroom accessories together Anna and her friend Alli decided they wanted to make quilts.,  They rummaged through the 5 inch square drawer, sewed them together and quilted them all up with minimal supervision from me.  Aren't they cute?  The next generation of quilters has begun. 

Slowly

I was sure I'd just whip the pieces of Sydney's room together today.  Somehow more time was spent running around and  cleaning though, so barely a dent was made.  There was a valance over Sydney's window which has been there since we moved in 9 years ago.  I am using the same pattern this time, just with her new fabric choices.  I'll try to get this finished up and then start working on the curtain that will cover her closet.  It will basically be a shower curtain, I am thinking of adding some cute grommets at the top, but other than that it will be pretty simple.  With all that fun waiting, some nice quiet hand stitching of binding might still win out for the evening.  Sometimes an excuse to sit and vegetate is nice to have.
