If I had a blog it would take me forever to post anything that I wouldn't have anyone following along. I love that your an everyday normal person living life like the rest of us. I think your post on your bedroom curtains is one of my favorites. You sewed them to short but by adding a little burlap to the bottom you were able to salvage them. I would have had a good cry and probably gave up. Luckily you didn't because they are beautiful. <br />Thanks for sharing and keeping it real.<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838493851682322087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982623767287726798.post-16921668610268003112013-04-08T12:54:40.656-05:002013-04-08T12:54:40.656-05:00I do that too, scared something will go wrong, but...I do that too, scared something will go wrong, but optimistic that it won't.
