    I think it looks great together, love the colors. Ok you asked for it LOL here is what I have been doing. Just finished this quilt for our bed, this is the 5th one I have made everytime I get one made someone comes along and wants to purchase it. Who am I to say no to money Right?

    Now I have been working on these which the pictures are kinda dark, (think my camera is dying, shutter doesn't close these are Roman Shades.
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]555727[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]555728[/ATTACH]These are in the Living Room

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]555729[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]555730[/ATTACH] These are in the Master Bedroom and I just noticed I don't have the rods lined up, darn it and I really measured real good.

    So was going to do the Dining Room windows same as Living Room but don't have enough material so this is what I am going to do instead, been putting it off for a couple weeks now but really needs cleaned

    The quilt is gorgeous!!! How do you have the patience for it? Or maybe it just looks more time consuming than it is??
    Love the shades...were they hard? I've looked at different patterns over the years, but never talked myself into it..lol.
    Didn't even notice the rods not being even steven until read it..Think they are fantastic.
    Your going to have your hands full cleaning that tank...My sister had one, a small one, while we were growing up...took her almost all day to clean, scrub, replace everything..or at least it seemed like it. Good luck lol. And thanks for sharing.

    well marietta, no the shades are not hard, just googled it. As for my tank omg am I mad. I have had this tank for several years and have never had a problem cleaning it. Of course we lived somewhere else and had well water, we now have city water and took me almost all day but I got it cleaned and redesigned. Soon as I put this city water in all my fish but 2 died. I just sent 17 fish on a long journey. So so mad I had some really pretty fish too. Had some Silver Dollars that were as big as my palm.

    We also had well water growing up, never a problem. I'd had friends over the years, either buy distilled water to fill their tanks (of course they were smaller than yours) or fill their tubs, buckets whatever with tap water and let it sit for a day or so. They said it worked, no dead fish lol. I think it's because most city tap water comes from a municipal water supply that is chlorinated. I live in the city, and i fill an old water jug with tap water let it sit for couple days to water my house plants, especially violets.

    I mailed my SP package yesterday. Going East of me. I have been in her state but not her town. She has a fur baby. Everything on her list I had in my stock of goodies believe it or not. Love it when I can do that. I haven't had this person before either. Package should arrive tomorrow, so you have an idea of how far East it will go by how many days it travels.
