Curtains and Good Mail!

Here are a couple of pictures of what I've been working on the past few weeks (among a bunch of other things).

Me working on these curtains below for Alyssa's room.




This is the heavy tapestry fabric that I used for curtains in my family room, pictured below.

This fabric was SO heavy! I felt like I better not make a mistake while sewing with it because it was too expensive to waste it. So I was nervous!

Thankfully, these basic drapes were really easy!! And the fabric was originally $40.00 a yard and I got it for $20.00 per yard at JoAnn's on sale! Thank goodness for the sale because I had to buy $190.00 worth, even on sale!

Laren put those curtain rods up by standing where you shouldn't stand on a ladder (the very top part) while I held the ladder still from behind. Thankfully his 6'2" height came in handy for this since it was such a TALL project!!


And here's my GOOD MAIL!!

Dana was the first one to send me good mail and here it is:


Some cute earrings that she made, some Halloween socks and some Jelly Belly's Mmmmm!
Thanks Dana! (By the way she sent this WAY back before Halloween, but I wasn't blogging then to document it.)


Some good mail Victoria sent me. Some bath gels from Bath and Body Works. Thanks Victoria, I love it!! She also sent me a cute card, not pictured.


And finally, Bridget sent me this good mail on Monday, one of my sickest days! Thank you Bridget, the timing was perfect! The package included a cute little note book, the perfect little bag of M&M's that we all devoured quickly, some cute little Easter Cards and a sweet card to me!
