I finally got around to finishing my curtain! Just in time to meet my self-imposed deadline. I've come to realize two things while finishing this project:
*****1. Misunderestimation. Yeah, I know that's not a real word. I haven't been really honest with myself on how much I'm taking on in my life. Besides my blog lists that I keep adding to, Matt and I are also trying to finish constructing our upstairs closet while re-designing and re-building one-third of our backyard. My own lists never seem to take all of these other things into account. We just ordered a new fence (he and his dad just ripped out the old), and we've dug out and built a new sand box, plus some fun climbing and play areas for the kids a la pea gravel. This yard has been such a challenge for me, but I think it's finally come along for such a small and shady space. It's miles away from what it was four years ago. Not to mention our nearly-complete closet!

*****2. Blog bog. Reading blogs about sewing isn't as gratifying as sewing, and it doesn't get me very far in my sewing projects. I know, that kind of sounds rocket-science, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I picked up a handful of good sewing blogs, which I love to look at! But as soon as I stopped looking at them for a week, I finished my curtains. Plus I started and finished these adorable pajama bottoms for Dean, featuring a sock-monkey print, and I started and finished a lovely curtain for Fiona's room. Yippee!
