Family Room Stuff

Since I have a tiny sewing room, but I am not the only one that likes to sew around here, I started keeping a sewing machine up in the family room (which is right next to my sewing room).  I have been working on curtains for this room since February!  I actually had the curtains basically done, but was having a hard time getting the grommets to finish them.  My mom found a place for them and sent them last week, yay!  So now I have my curtains up and a nice sewing machine cover to match.  Up next (not sewing) is to rip down all the wallpaper (even the stuff that has been painted over) and then paint the room a color to match the curtains, maybe in a year I can report that I actually finished that huge project.

This really makes me excited to paint down here.  I hung up the curtains before we painted, because we had these horrid blinds in there that were impossible to open, and I am a light person.  I want all of our windows uncovered during the day, so it drove me crazy trying to get the blinds open.  So I hung these up before we painted, because I wanted to get the light NOW!  So someday the walls will match.
