A Day Out
My friend that makes my curtains informed that an upper end fabric store in the city was having a going out of business sale. All fabric was 75%off. I thought it would be a good idea to get out of the house and check it out today seeing as the store closed for good on Saturday. B/c I thought we were moving over the summer and with our house remodeling job complete, I really did not want to invest money in things such as curtains and pictures. And although very tempted to decorate, there didn't seem to be much sense if we were moving. But, it looks like we are not moving anytime soon, so I figured I was safe to go ahead and make the house look alittle more like a home! Their prices were amazing!! I got over 6yds of fabric for around $12.00. I know it doesn;t sound like alot of fabric , but it really is. Although I did not find all the fabric for the rooms I want to do, I was pleased with what I did find, and the price I paid for it! AND I had alot of time leftover before I had to be home to get the girls off the bus, so I ventured off and found some other things I had been looking for. Its funny how I find things when I am not looking for them versus when I set off on a mission and can;t find what I want. It felt so nice to be able to get out of the house. I really haven't been out and about since before Christmas other than to go to the store, church and work. I don't mind it that way, especially in the winter. I had a nice day getting some fresh air and although it was a cold day the sun felt good too!

OH yeah! It sounds like you did very well today. What room are you making the curtains for? Since you showed us the video of the addition, I feel like I will be able to picture it. I'm glad you got some time to yourself. It can do a wonder for us!
Well, I got fabric to make a curtain for the entryway, and I got coordinating fabric to cover an ottoman and some pillows for the family room. I still need to get fabric for our room and the master bath. We are redoing the "girls wing" as I call it too. so that it can be the " the girls and their brother wing." Jonathon is such a light sleeper,he really needs his own room instead of sharing it with us!
Ooh, when you finish you should take pictures to show me. It is so fun to make the house look homier. Is that a word?
Oh, it makes me wish that I hadn't bought fabric from Joanne's to reupholster my chair. I spent too much on that and I haven't even started it yet! Never mind that I don't know how :)
