Nursery Curtains

When I got home from work last night, I looked over at the pile of fabric that was to become the nursery curtains. I figured now was as good a time as ever, and I just wanted to get it out of the way! So I sat down and got to business. The brown curtains weren't too difficult to deal with, the fabric is solid and sturdy enough that an iron will easily fold over the seams. But the white sheer curtain underneath.... That thing was a PAIN! If I ever have to sew one of those again, it'll be too soon. :) I'm sure the seams are not straight, but at this point I don't even care. They are done, and hanging up, and I love them! I thought I had bought enough fabric for floor-length, but it turns out I didn't. Oops! Oh well. It'll make vacuuming easier. One of my friends called it "tea length" for curtains!



In other exciting news, I'm headed to Minnesota this weekend! We were assigned a couple new projects at work yesterday, one of which is in Rochester, Minnesota. I was nominated by my co-workers to be the one to go. :) I looked up the weather forecast, and the overnight low Saturday night is -13, and the high on Sunday is -1! I asked my co-workers... "Are you SURE nobody else wants to go?" HAHAHA! They are all very thankful I have family and friends up there. The best part about this assignment is that there's not even a building in place on the land - it's a vacant tract waiting to be developed. So basically all I have to do is drive to the site, take some pictures, walk the perimeter, and I'm done! It'll take probably about 20 minutes. And they're flying me up there all for that! I love my job. :) I'll do the actual work on Monday, but in the mean time I'll go up to Minnesota tomorrow morning to spend the weekend with friends. Woohoo!
