Well this weekend went by pretty quickly. Since we’re on hold with the insulation we have to keep the livingroom/diningroom empty.  This meant my plans to move the tables out of the gym to start crown molding did not happen (no place to put the tables until we can use the diningroom again).  However Ryan had to work all weekend any how so we wouldn’t have gotten much done. He stayed home Friday to clear snow off the many lower roofs but had work to make up the rest of the weekend.  The snow clearing on Friday went well though and the warm spell we had really cleared things up even more.

So I mostly relaxed, did some stitching and some sewing. Sunday I got started on the curtains for my sister. I’m making lined tab-top curtains with a white/green polka dot fabric. Then I’ll make a solid green shade that matches and a cute valance. First up was the curtains and I got one panel finished, the second one close to finished. There are 2 windows in the room so I still have 2 (and a half) more panels to finish up before I can start the valance or shades.

Anyway, here are my progress pictures from this weekend:

Progress on Autumn in my Garden

One curtain panel done (hanging) and one in progress (on table).

The curtains so far have been easy and fun.  I haven’t decided on the style shade yet but I did decide I don’t need blackout lining or anything.  If I hold the lining, curtain fabric, lining, shade fabric all up together they definitely block out the light.  So I can use the regular lining I have for both curtains and shades.

This week – friday probably – we’ll get the insulation finished hopefully and next weekend resume work on the house.  I’m looking forward to it!
