my sewing projects

A couple of weeks ago, Curtis and I were strolling through a new store in town where we found this gem of a sewing desk. I LOVE it. I have been wanting a sewing desk for a while now, so I was thrilled to find this. Isn't it cute?

I've been putting our purchase to good use.

I sewed some curtains and a draft guard for our front door.


I think the flowers add some spice to the otherwise bland curtain.


The ruffly top on the draft guard was an after-thought. I had extra fabric at the top because I initially cut the fabric too big. I didn't want to just cut it off, so I decided to cut the extra fabric at the top into slits and tie it in knots to create this look.


Our upstairs office didn't have any window coverings (or window trim for that matter). I didn't like the thought of people being able to look right in, so I made these curtains. I did these with the same ruffly top as the draft guard. Don't look too closely at the missing window trim...that will come later.

I finally finished the Christmas presents for my co-workers. My plan was to have these aprons done and put in the mail before Christmas...but that didn't happen (you may have read my procrastination post). Better late than never though, right?

I even made one for me. Maybe now I'll cook more...ha ha...yeah right.

On an unrelated note, my hair fits in a pony-tail (with the help of several bobby-pins). Wohoo!
