The addition in coming along, but not as quickly as we would like. The room is completely boxed in and the workers are starting on the roofing. I would have thought that more would have been done by this time, but the contractors are only averaging 2 days a week at our house. :( I am pretty sure we aren't the only project, but I would really like to see more done! Oh well, it will be finished and I am pretty excited about having more room.
There will be windows, but they are not cut out yet.
I have also completed curtains for Gracie's room. Since the addition is coming off her room, we have to move her window thus I get to redo her room. We are going to do pink with brown circles. My friend Amber gave me some material that is brown with pink polk-a-dots that she was going to do curtains for her little girl, but changed her mind. It is enough material for me to do the curtains, and even a bed skirt for her crib/toddler bed. Although the room is not ready to be painted, I already made the curtains (I just couldn't wait) and plan on starting the bed skirt in the next week.
I enjoy adding little homemade touches to my girls room. I embroidered butterflies and flowers on Lillie's curtains.
As more happens, I will add more pictures.
Cute! I really want to start sewing and am looking for a used sewing machine on craigslist. Do you have any recommendations? You're going to LOVE having more room! I dream about the day we have more living space, but don't want to move yet. We really, really like it here!
ReplyDeleteI spent a couple of months researching until I purchased my sewing machine from Sears. It is a Kenmore and very easy to use. It cost me $70 (sale price - reg price $80) about 2 years ago. My mom has used a Kenmore sewing machine for 30 years with no problems.
ReplyDeleteI love the curtains! So cute! Looks like the addition is going great! Btw, I have tried to load coupons on my Kroger card a few times and they never come off at the register. Don't know what the problem is. :-) For now, I am stuck printing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteThe curtains are adorable!! Both sets! I am so glad you could use the material, I hated to see it wasted!
