Friday Stuff

Hi!

Well, the projects have really slowed down this week. I thought last week I hadn't really done anything, but then remembered that I had. But this week I really can't think of anything.

I've been cleaning out the storage room, so that's something. 

 HH got a new reel mower that doesn't use gas or electricity.  So far it's great!  Now I'll have no excuse to cut the grass!  Before, with our ancient gas mower, I could never start it so I had a great excuse to not cut the grass while HH wasn't home. ;-)

I'm trying to root some virginia creeper inside. This was on Aug 4.
 It's so hardy outside, I thought it would be super easy to root, but it's not doing so great. I had to cut some more pieces to put in. Here it is today:

I've been reading some Sarah Susanka books,

and getting some inspiration. 

I wanted to tie together the windows and doors in the back room, but couldn't quite figure out how to do it. I tried to do it with curtains after nixing the idea of window pelmets.


Then, I found this picture and I think a headband is my solution!
This will be a project for the future!

 Also, here's a picture of a barn door from one of the books:
And here's another barn door pic I found on East Coast Creative:
This is another project for the future, as I'm still gonna sew my dropcloth to look sail-like!

Have a great weekend!  :-)
