First Things First

The very first week of January, I started tackling 10-year projects that I purposely ignored.  When I worked 40+ hours each week, I just didn't have the motivation to get some of my projects done at home.  So, here's one of my projects....altering the curtains in our bedroom.  We purchased these curtains years ago, but they were way too long in length for our bay window.  I'm embarrassed to say I was never able to pull the curtains closed, but then we live in the country so it probably doesn't matter anyway!!!  After a very quite project, I re-hemmed the curtains.  Why did I wait so many years to do this?  Geez    

I laid out the curtain panel on our bed to look over my sewing job before I hung them back up in the window.  Bad idea.  Aiden just couldn't resist and had to get all cozy on the curtain for his early afternoon nap. Crazy cat.  As you can see in the photo Abby is politely sleeping above the curtain panel.....thank you Abby!

My reward for getting the curtains re-hemmed was a late afternoon snowshoe walk in the Enchanted forest with Bike man.

 And the sun came out finally after four days of cloudiness.  Felt so good.........
