New Curtains~

Wow, I can't believe it has been a week since I posted,
the week flew by! I made these curtains for the French
doors, I got tired of opening and closing the curtains to
go out the back door...They are red/tan checked and
are being held on top and bottom by curtain rods with
magnets in them.....I was surprised at how well they
hold....

To the right you can see the little hutch, we
brought it back in from the patio for the night, I painted
it out there on Saturday, giving it two coats of black...
On the back I painted some of my acrylic paints to
see what color I might like for a top coat.....Some were
too yellow & some too pink. I went into the bedroom
and got the color samples I had hanging on the wall for
picking a color for in there.... ..We came up with one
we might like, so off to the store tomorrow for paint.
And since I used the board I had for the shelf over the
doors, on the hutch, now I have to go get another one....
make that two, I know another place I want a shelf...I
could use one for my cast iron banks, I only have part
of them out....I guess I better add that to my list on the
side of things I collect.

Well, I didn't get accepted

intothe festival, I was put

on a waiting list in case

someone does cancel.....

But they didn't say how

far down the list I am....

That doesn't do me any

good.....If they called me

a week before, I couldn't

get enough done to go

anyway. It's not like I have

a business and have a store

full, that I could just load

up and go. There are a couple

small festivals that I can probably

do if I want to....I guess that's it for

tonight, I will post some pictures

of my little hutch after

I get it painted and decorated....Can't

wait to get it done....Oh, and I have more

curtains to make, too, that should keep

me busy this week....Besides reading blogs....

I spend too much time doing that,

but oh well....It's lots of fun!

Until next time....
