Roman Shades ( A pain in the you know what)

-
It has been a comedy of errors ending in only one done.Lol. Its a good thing it was expensive because that is the only reason the other two will get made.

Quiliting is a HECKA lot easier. As many know I am all about the pictures and NOT about the directions. I actually tried to follow the directions this time. Seriously. Then I went out and bought the warm shades video. My advice to any thinking about making them....BUY IT... Its a little crooked and the locking pully doesnt lock so much but I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I have some adjustments to make too. I can safely say they will stay up until the end of time or WH pays a professional!Ü

Wow, that looks amazing! I wish I could sew, quilt, etc. I never learned how to do any of that when I was young and I really wish now that I had. I am completely envious of those who have these skills/talents! My mom and my grandmother who lived next door to us when I was growing up were always doing these things but I just never took any interest in it then. Now I can't even sew on a button and that is the honest to goodness truth! :0( Maybe one day I'll take some classes. LOL!

I'm stopping by from SITS! I just wanted to share a bit of comment love.♥ I hope the rest of your week is absolutely amazing!

Teresa <><

P.S. BTW, do you visit the HGTV message boards? There is a 'Turtlebec' that frequents those so I just wondered.

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w

Ice Road Truckers and a 20

Year old girl.I hadnt told yall becuse I was living in a state of denial. Its my favorite state actually but that is another story. If you had asked me this weekend where my oldest daughter was I would of told you she was driving with the Ice Road truckers. She really was too. Oldest daughter was driving Pilot truck for an oversized load headed to Prudhoe bay. She drove the haul road. A road not many men will even drive. She said she prayed over many of the passes mainly the Attigun Pass but many of the others too. I had to laugh when she called me from Cold foot to tell me excitedly that she had met a couple of the Ice Road truckers as they are there filming. She was able to see a little of the filming too. On the web page for that t.v. show they make a statement that the road to prudhoe is driven by fearless tough men.Lol. They need to add And one 20 year old girl! I am really proud of her. I am such a powder puff and scared to try anything new. I dont know how I was blessed with her
