Curiously Intertwined

Monday, June 7, 2021

Cushions have been deconstructed to salvage and reuse the zippers.

I finally found some top down, bottom up cordless shades

in the correct size that were actually available

and they arrived yesterday.

Installing them was one of three projects completed today

toward our quest to complete this room.

As a result you get a slightly larger sneak peek than last time.

Our GB#3 turned seven today.

It was a beautiful day that included friends, painting, water balloons,

water soakers, cupcakes, food, gifts, family, and just plain fun.

In the background you can see the play set DIL R and I built last May

and the benches we built last October.

I made a treat tonight but I think I left it in the freezer a bit too long.

It's too frozen to cut.

I guess I'll just stand here and wait.

It's definitely still slow going

but I am ready for the next step on my first test cushion cover.

Here's a sneak peek at another of the quilt tops I bought a couple weeks ago.

This one is an Ocean Waves pattern and has some of the sweetest fabrics.

Sometimes when I'm working on a project like a room refresh

I get about 90% done and then the last 10% seems to take forever.

I'm at that stage now.

My actual list of final things to complete isn't that long

but it seems each is dependent on something else

or I can't find a resource for what I need.

So today I cut some plexiglass with power tools

which turned out pretty well

and then worked on the details of fabric cutting

for some new covers for the cushions.
