Crafty weekend(plural)...

Maybe if I make a virtual commitment to doing something productive on weekends...I will ACTUALLY do something productive?!? Last weekend I finally got my act together and made curtains for our bedroom and kitchen sink window. It was about time I stopped walking in front of my bedroom window completely naked...I mean...we have neighbors now!!! :) Geesh.

Last weekend:

Dan dyed his coat a darker shade of blue/black, so we experimented by throwing in a bunch of old shirts we don't really enjoy. Now we have a few new shades in our wardrobe! This definitely needs to be continued with new colors/new fabrics on future weekends.

Just a new little flowery spring piece I added by the window.

Fabric for the kitchen.

crappy lighting, but bright, colorful kitchen curtains!

fabric for closet window

the lighting is pretty bad in this shot, but we have smaller sized windows in the hallway of our bedroom, so we needed little curtains to give us some privacy (=no more window nakedness).

The curtains didn't take long to make. I had a lot of fun and spent a good portion of saturday afternoon working on them. By the end I could do one panel in less than 30 minutes.

 sewing in a straight line = easy

The major time-consumer was ironing to perfection. :) 

Sewing< 10minutes.

So here is my list for this weekend and the weekends to come:

• Make matching curtains for other kitchen window.
• Buy roman shade for living room window.
• Shop for and prep these delicious desserts from Martha Stewart for Valentine's day yummy!

• decide what photos need to be enlarged for bedroom/living room walls. pick out frames. choose a fun design from a pinterest pin.
• try planting my flower bulbs (yes. i know. they are supposed to be planted in the fall. i get it. but it doesn't hurt to try. they will be useless next fall anyways. dang.)
• paint wall shelves antique white. put shelves up in guest bedroom.
• decorate shelves.
• figure out the bookcase situation upstairs. current state = disaster.
• organize outside closet boxes (HAHAHA...okay I won't actually do this...EVER. even though i really need to. i'll save it for an absolutely boring summer day when there is literally nothing better to do.)
• make more lists of things to do. i'm pretty sure this is a small portion of what really needs to be done.
