The curtains are coming along. I'm almost finished. I still need to add the trim and then hot glue my hems down. I refuse to sew the burlap. I've already got a mountain of fuzz and lint from it in my dryer, I don't want it in my sewing machine as well. It already needs a tune up, the last thing it needs is burlap abuse. Here's how they look currently:
Look at how the sunlight shines through the burlap. I love the texture it's bringing to the kitchen. The burlap panels will never be moved. Only the sheers will open and close. The burlap is only there for color and texture. I have a ton of the burlap left over. I'm planning on using that to make a valance for the window over the sink. If I get around to it, I'll put the trim on tomorrow and will give you a finished project pic then with details on how I did the whole thing. This would be a piece of cake if it was just on a straight rod. I'm already over the whole bay window thing, trust me.
Oh and yes, those are Halloween decorations in November. Why do you ask?
On the writing front, I'm still about 800 words behind on my goal. The night's not over yet of course. I've written over 1,000 words so far today and I'll have more time to write this evening. I'm already doing better than I did last year, and I'm only three days into nanowrimo. Cool!
