Having fun Sewing today...

Hi Friends,

Well things are coming together over here slowly but surely. Its kind of hard when Hubby has been working tons of OT, which is good - it means more money - but he is gone at nights and then he needs to at least take a nap in the day.

It really helped having the curtains in the bedroom but I have not trimmed them yet - tomorrow I will. This morning Hubby and I hung up some rods in the family room and kitchen. Then we decided on which curtains to hang and I got out my sewing machine and took them up quite a bit.

I was like a bumbling clown - I actually have not used my horribly expensive (Elna) machine in about a year maybe? I actually forgot how to thread it. LOL - It is so new fangled with a computer screen, does embroidery  and threads itself - Duh I forgot and had to get out the manual. Silly me.

No matter how I tried to take the pictures - they kept coming out dark.

I cut some off short for the kitchen window.

I made these curtains a while back and hubby loves them. We used some bamboo for rods and brackets we bought at Bed bath and beyond and I used some cheap brass bracelets I bought at Michael's to put on the bamboo rods to slide the curtains. I made button holes at the tops of the curtains and made some ties to make bows.

We like this way better than the dark shutters that were on there.

Tomorrow - the dining room window and for sure I will have to sew those too cause they are way too long also. Our other house that I made them for had high ceilings and this house is standard.

My breakfast this morning was a pc of left over steak from hubby with some mushrooms in eggs, berries, avocado and homemade corn tortillas with chia seeds inside.

Lunch we were both hungry and went to El Pollo Loco. We have not been there in forever and they have a lot of new stuff on their menu. Hubby got chicken nachos and I got the new carnitas soft tacos. There was 3 and I ate 2 and gave the other to Hubby. He was hungry. They were very tasty by the way.

He went to take a nap before work and I snuck in the freezer and ate several bites of chocolate So delicious coconut sugar free ice-cream. BFC friendly of course.

Me and the furry girls went for a walk. I forgot the bat - DUH. The houses are just gorgeous over here. I went down this street that I was warned about a pit bull that lives there and gets out some times and attacks and is very vicious. So I was scared the whole time - but beautiful walk.

My dinner was a salad and pc of the steak and the last 2 lonely protein bites and rediwhip for desert.

Our insurance guy cam thru big time with some new insurance and even cheaper than the first one that canceled us. Whew! So now the only thing I have to worry about is the coyotes eating my furry girls. We gotta secure the back yard thats for sure.

Hubby and I were talking about how lucky and blessed we are to have gotten this house - at this time. If we tried right now to do the same thing all over again - it would NEVER happen. The housing market is going UP. The prices are UP. The rates are going UP. Even though there is a big list of things to fix - we are so grateful!!! One thing at a time - right?

I am still not sleeping good - but I'm feeling luck tonight.. He-he ya never know.
