I got some sewing done tonight – the valances for my sister’s nursery!

Monkey valance

I made two of them, they go with the curtains I’m still working on (one window done, one to go on those).

Valance with the curtains

Then because I won’t be home tomorrow night to sew, I got some of the animals for the quilt ready to applique and started on those – the giraffe first.  This quilt will have 4 animals total.

Applique giraffe started

In only 10 minutes or so I have more than half of the giraffe body attached already so I realized I need to go back up and prepare a few more pieces to bring, other than just the giraffe or else I’ll be doing something else tomorrow night since this will finish up quickly.

In car news – the relay switch that controls the secondary fan has gone wonky and is kicking the fan on all the time when the car is off.  This is draining the battery and now I need a new relay and a new battery.  At least I know which relay, it’s not too difficult to get to (4 bolts), so I’ll probably get a new battery tomorrow and remove the relay when I park the car until the new relay comes in (had to be ordered).  Pain in the butt having to jump my car to start it every time!
