When I got home and pulled up to my yard, I thought, "Dang, my yard looks nice!" So I took some photos of my awesome spring flowers. Keep in mind I HATE working in the yard so I plant things that look nice without a lot of help. I take no credit.
Then came the project that I had been waiting for: working on the baby room! I couldn't find a trans-gender, already made set that I liked, plus they are so dang expensive! I already had the blue Hawaiian material so I decided to make it myself. Pretty daring, considering I don't know how to sew and have never taken a class. I decided to tackle making the valance since I figure I can handle sewing in a straight line. Here's the finished product, I'm pleased as punch.Monday, April 21, 2008
Quite Pleased
Saturday was awesome. I got Aaron out the door to work and headed over to my mom's house. Since our family dog, T-Rex passed away a few weeks ago, mom said if I clean out his old dog house, Moe could have it. I got to hang out with my mom and help her out a little bit (she just had surgery and is still recovering), and she bought me lunch. Cool deal. Moe was not as impressed with the new house as I was. He just sniffs it and keeps walking. I'm sure it still smells like Rex despite the scrubbing.

I can't see the final product! The last picture doesn't show all the way. Only like a 10th of it is showing. I really want to see! I love the combo of fabrics! I am going to be making my own nursery sets too! Only because I have an idea of what I want but haven't seen it anywhere. So I'll just make it. I'll be asking you for help when I start. I am terrible at reading patterns.
I am so impressed! It looks like you DO know how to sew... cheater, lol. I feel a little jipped, being LDS and not knowing how to sew myself. My poor kids don't have curtains, lol. Guess I'd better sign up for a class.
Your yard always looks so nice! I love the picture you took of the Calla Lily. You should blow that one up really big & frame it! Your valence turned out so cute! I can't wait to see the finished baby room!
Oh my gosh so dang cute you are so creative. And your yard always looks great.Love ya Krista
You did a great job on the baby valance, I'm very impressed. I don't believe you didn't have any clue about sewing!
Oh, and the flowers are beautiful too.
