Supervisors

Our old rotting deck has been torn down, and a section of our chain link fence is gone. A wooden fence is in the process of being built, and a new deck is planned too (otherwise it'd be a big drop out of the kitchen sliding door into the yard ;) ). Before the deck is worked on they'll be putting in a french drain, so we can keep that corner of the house a bit dryer when it rains (hopefully).

The kids have been supervising.

There are more supervisors than workers most of the time.
The kids will be staying out of trouble for most of next week!

On the subject of big projects, I finished my curtains yesterday!! :) Now I have one sheer panel to redo (made it too short) and two curtain panels to redo the pleats of (not wide enough). Once that is done I have oodles of ideas of future drapery to sew: Roman blinds for the bathroom, curtains for our bedroom closet, bedding set for our bedroom with window curtains to match, curtains for the boys room, linen for the baby cradle, windows downstairs, shower curtain...
(We'll see if I can even get one of these done before baby comes.)

I noticed in my curtain planning book, that I started this sewing project early 2009. I guess I did take an entire year off after Daniel was born, but even then, two years for three windows, and still needing corrections?!?! Oh well...this way I'll always have a project, since by the time I finish all the windows in this house we'll have moved and I'll have a whole new house to drape up!
