for krista

i finished my curtains this weekend and i'm on to the next project. a boutique near my work just went out of business and was looking to offload some of their display items so eric and i took advantage. super sweet. i'm replacing the panels in a large room divider with suede and using it as a headboard for our bed. stay tuned. for now, here's a picture of the completed curtains. i'm pretty happy with them, but my ocd comes out in full swing and i can see all the flaws. mer.

Progress

one side down, one to go!

Breakfast of Champions

a chocolate cookie (recently dipped in syrup from mom's nearby plate) in one hand and a strip of bacon in the other. does it get better?

this one doesn't think so.

the diaz trio spent a short, but very sweet weekend in portland. good times were had by all.

Sew, Sew, Suck yer toe

i've been overcome by a new project as of late. learning how to sew. not only because i just want to have that skill, i need to know how to sew for school. kristy let me tag along with her at her sewing lesson a couple weeks ago and ever since, i've been hooked!

so many projects, so little time.

thanks to this book krista got me for christmas (that has been sitting on my bookshelf for six months because i got so frustrated with my sewing machine last fall that it has been sitting dormant ever since) i've been able to practice my skills AND make cute stuff. win, win.

so, without further ado...

my first creation...i wanted it to look like a donut, don't worry about it.

this is the project i started today. curtains for my boudior...

i'm still in the still in the early stages.

one day, these curtains hope to look like this...
