A crafty necessity

Since moving into our new house, there have been numerous projects to finish...stripping wallpaper, painting, major cleaning, unpacking...you get the picture.  There are definitely areas of priority and then there are other things that still need to be tackled...
One of those things that needed tackling was a curtain for Wyatt's room.  I wanted to do something cute, instead of just throwing some blinds up.  So, I thought, why not match his curtain with the crib rail protectors I made.  Well, that meant a trip to Shipshe to find the same fabric...and then finding the time to make curtains, which I've never done...But I did it!  Yay!  So I'm sharing my project with you...

This first picture shows the "curtain" we had put up...which Wyatt lived with for a while...not sure that the snowmen/reindeer blanket really fit in with summer or his room, but it blocked the sun:)  He didn't seem to mind:)

And here it is...the new curtain!  If you look closely, well, not that you really need to, but it seems as though the previous owners just gave up on painting the trim around the window!  After I took these pics I realized half is white, half is cream.  Another project to tackle!



I am noticing a trend in my blogs...I seem to do a few at once and then drop off for a while...I do enjoy sharing what's going on with us...just hard to always find time...
thanks for hanging in to read them...all 3 of you:)

toilet paper canyons...

You've never heard of a toilet paper canyon?  Well, I may have made up that term...but it's what you get when Wyatt comes in contact with a roll of toilet paper.  In this first picture, he is demonstrating how to play with a roll at grandma's house:) 

This next picture is what I call the toilet paper canyon...
The other day Wyatt grabbed a roll and took a bite...a BIG bite...so now as we use our toilet paper...we've got holes.  And today he took another bite...from the same roll...double holes.  This kid cracks me up!
