New Curtains!

I finally finished some of my projects that have been hanging out at my house for ages.  Seriously.  Ages.  Last night I finally hung up the curtains in Creamie’s nursery.  They have been sitting halfway finished for 6 months.  I borrowed my mom’s serger to do the edges and I can’t believe how quick they went.  I should have finished them… well six months ago.

I finished the valance a long time ago.  It is the same striped pattern as her bumper.  Man, I love this fabric! (It’s Farmer’s Market by Sandi Henderson.)

The bottom of the curtains is the same as her bedskirt, which is in pieces on my dining room table, and has been for months and months.

When I made her bedding originally I measured wrong, and when we dropped Creamie’s mattress to the lowest setting the bedskirt was too long.  So I got all excited about making it fit and got it all unpicked and pressed and…. and it’s still sitting here, unpicked, and in bad need of a good pressing.

I am hoping that by the end of next week I’ll have her bedskirt finished and a few big throw pillows for her to lounge about with.  That girl loves pillows more than anyone I know.  Well, except for her mother.

Also this week I worked with a bunch of ladies from my church making quilts to donate to those in need.  This one was mine, it’s 90 inches square.  All of the fabrics were donated, one woman sewed them all together, and then all the ladies got together a few nights ago to tie them on quilt frames.  Only, I hate those little tassle things.  So I brought this one home and tied it with knots instead of tassle’s and I got it all finished last night.  And it might not be beautiful, but it is warm.  I thought I was going to overheat holding this quilt in my lap for hours and hours.  I’m linking up to Sew+Tell over at Amy’s.  Go see what everyone is doing.

PS- Yesterday afternoon I jammed my toe while skidding around the corner in my socks to answer the phone.  And it hurts.  I was sure it was broken yesterday, but today it’s much less sore… and much more purple/ble/green/technicolored.  Ewwww gross.  The bruise is spreading and it’s almost 3 inches across.  It hurts.  But it’s my left foot so I can still sew relatively easy.  It’s the chasing after Creamie that is hard.  Happy Weekend!
