Sewing and Snow Falls Revisited

Sis arrived Wednesday morning with two 6'x9' painter's cloths from Lowe's, a yard of accent fabric, and creme horns.

I already had Sewing Central set up.

We soon set to ripping and tearing and ten hours later we were done. Ten hours? Don't ask. (We work slow. We did a whole lot of fiddle flipping. We are a bizarre combination of perfectionistic and to heck with it. If we were being perfectionistic, we'd say, "It's for the cottage." If being cavalier, "It's only for camp.")

Somewhere along the way, Sis decided she'd like a valence and the valence just lent itself to a bit of trim.

This is the final result. I should add that these curtains will be used for the bedroom doors at the cottage. Both husbands wished to know why regular doors should not be purchased. Perhaps one day they will be. For now, Sis will do it the old-fashioned way — a curtain as it has always been.

Edited to add: Oh, and I made tie-backs as well. I tried some piping. Now that was so much fun that I feel like piping everything.

Thursday was a corker of a day. The main stars were the youngest grand, the gorgeous clouds, and Snow Falls. 

We all had fun picnicking, going on a treasure hunt, launching boats, and taking a little hike.

The day ended at the ice cream stand as all lovely days do.

Perhaps your first August weekend will find you at an ice cream stand, too!
