And Now For Something Exactly Like You Would Expect From Me

Once again a video in my bucolic fantasy vein:




On the home front: we are doing the template for the bathroom vanity tomorrow, the kitchen counter template (again) on Tuesday. This should put us at least a week away from installing those counters, which will leave only flooring thresholds, paint in the bathroom, and window treatments for the guest room, bathroom, and kitchen.

I had my heart set on simple Roman shades, but it turns out they are pretty much a custom item which would cost me close to $300 for the guest room alone.  It is going to be me and my little sewing machine for this job, because I know I  can make them for a lot less.

I'm down to three boxes of kitchen to unpack - no hurry because until the kitchen counters are in I can't get the kitchen settled. I hope the beaters for my hand mixer are in one of those boxes because they were not with the mixer! I did put up a shelving unit in the basement for the things I know will not fit into our little cupboards in the kitchen. I think this will work perfectly - we don't use all of our kitchen equipment every day, after all. I promised someone at work I would bring her brownies as soon as I unpacked my pans, so I'd better start looking for recipes.

Cows are always very curious about things around and about their little pastures, and this is so cool!

BTW, that pirate joke is hilarious! Harr karr harr! :o)

Sewing is the way to get just what you want, and save a bundle of money sometimes, too. YayYou and your little sewing machine!
