dear all,
I just finished 2 of these valances. I am so excited to finally be able to start something new! (I'm one of "those" type A people who finishe one project before starting another--egads, I need help!!) Rose Hall |
Well, it looks like you did a great job on these! So....whats your next project??
|
That valance is so cool! Where are you going to use it? |
Very nice indeed! Are the valances going in your room? So what's the project you have in mind?
|
very pretty

Rose, you silly-billy! you don't need to 'get' help...you need to 'give' help. Finishing a project is what we all ruminate over, you've got it down. like your valances. SIL, loves bears, don't let him see them! :wink:

Yes i agree finsihing a project before starting another one is GREAT if I could do that I would have a mess in my dining room. hahahha

Well, there is a story behind those valances.
Two years ago when my son was born, a teacher I worked with loaned me a "pack n play"--a portable play pen/baby bed. I have used it at my mother's house for almost 2 years with no problems. I was able to keep it in pristine condition like when I received it. The DAY before I was to take it back to school to give it to her, my husband ran over it with the SUV. ugh. The pack n play itself was not damaged, but the cover that it is stored in was ruined. I went to her with 3 options: 1. I could make her a new cover (what I preferred); 2. I could buy her a new pack n play; 3. I could pay her what a new one would cost. she chose option 4--could you make these curtains for my grandson's room? I said sure---just because I felt HORRIBLE about the damage I had done. whew! I will never use anything on "loan" again!!! as for my next project--- I am going to ask hubby for mother's day/anniversary gift for these new die cuts so I can make a choo choo train for my son (and also use in my business) http://www.accucut.com/Train_Setbr5D...67-path0.html? as well as the tracks to go along with it: http://www.accucut.com/BorderRailroa...16-path0.html? He is into Thomas the Train and Elmo right now. I can't find an Elmo die cut (probably a copyright issue), so I'll stick with trains. Rose Hall |
You did a great job on the valance!! And, yes, tell hubby I said you've earned the both new die sets (especially since he caused all the valance work to start with...) :wink:
|
sorry about the SUV and the "pack n play" accident, isn't that always the way :(
However the curtains turned out real cute and bet the lady is tickled pink. Great job....on your part, not your husbands part :wink: |
