I had to take a break from sewing while the kitchen/dining room project was going on. That project, though, has created new things to sew. One of the things that I did as the dominoes were falling from the dining room down the hall was that I cleaned out the spare room in order to make it a real guest room and I moved all sewing/craft type projects into the den. The den is now a den/project room. While I was doing THAT, I decided to update things and wanted to make new curtains. Up until now all of my sewing experiences have been done under the watchful guidance of my sister-in-law Tia. But the days are busy for all of us and I was getting tired of waiting for her. So last night I decided to just do it myself. I had bought a basic sewing book and one of the chapters included how to make simple curtains. I took a deep breath and started in. I was nervous that I would make a wrong cut or an uneven stitch. But in just two hours, I had finished!!!!!! It was my very own, completely on my own sewing project!! I'm so pleased. I really can do it!!! At one point as I was sitting at the sewing machine, humming along, Tom walked into the room and said "My wife. Look at her sewing!!" It made me smile. And so do the new curtains.
