Drapes

I’m sick. It sucks. It came on suddenly last night, and I’m trying to drink a ton of water to avoid a full blown sinus infection.

Aside from that, I’m going to try to make drapes for our bedroom today.

We bought the fabric and hardware months ago,

and I’m finally getting around to it.

The tree in the photo came from the kitchenette in the basement that I finished painting yesterday. I need to clean out the corner, next to my bedside table, and that’s where the tree is going to go. Then I’m going to move one of my favorite pieces of art from the stairwell and hang it above our bed.

It’ll look groovy all together. With drapes. And trees. And stuff.

I think I’m going to make these drapes. I like the fold-over at the top.

Clark is grumpy. I think he’s a little sick like me, and he’s cutting top molars. That surprised me, as he only has 6 teeth.

    Yes, that is what I fear I have, but I’m maintaining the belief that it is just a head cold. I’m sorry that you and Clark are now sick too!

    Good luck with your drapes.

    Weird. I just tried to leave a comment and it didn’t take.

    Ahem: I’m afraid that’s what I have too, although I’m maintaining my belief that it’s just a head cold. I’m sorry that you and Clark are sick too. Good luck with your drapes; I like the material.

    That fabric is beautiful. I can’t wait to see how the drapes turn out. You are a true Susie Homemaker :-).

    It’s sucky that you are sick. I hate that.

    That art print is SO COOL!!! I don’t have any “real” art in my house except for one watercolor my mom made. I am starting to think I need some. Your house has so many cool pieces. I am inspired!!!! But yeah..that print is cool.

    I hope you and Clark feel better soon.

    Pretty! I need that for band costumes which, by the way, is more of an art project than an actual band. It’s sort of a documented identity quest. Get well! You really don’t know anybody in Utah?

    Good luck! I like the material. I made drapes for our last house and I hated the process. I lined them, which made them so much more difficult.

    Hey! Just catching up on your blog…I love the first day of school picture with umbrellas! That’s classic. Your basement looks great, I can’t wait to see it in real life. And, finally, Benjamin cut his molars when he had only two teeth on bottom…so we both have random kids!
