Finished!

I have been "working" on this project since August. I bought the material & ribbon because "I'm going to make them a valance today!" In December I cut, ironed & sewed the 3 sections together (b/c I wasn't going to learn to do pleats, so it's super long!). Last Monday, my friend Lisa came and teased me yet again for not having it done (she was around for the other days too) and then suggested the ribbon as the binder. What a cute idea! So I got the curtain finished on Monday night. Tuesday I went to put it up and the rod I had was way too short for the window frame. So today, 6 months later, my wonderful children now have a valance in their room. It will stay when the girls move to the basement and the boys will have a yellow, green & blue room.

I'm so proud of myself! Look Lisa, it's all done!! Yeah!
