Well, we have been busy, busy, busy around here for the last week or so. I asked my mother-in-law to come down and help me whip my flowerbeds into shape, and she very, very kindly obliged me--driving nine hours from Ohio all by herself and letting me work her like a slave for five days. What a blessing!
We gardened for the first three days she was here, and did a world of good, but I don't have any photos just yet, as it's sprinkling just enough to be annoying and get the camera lens wet. And every time I thought about snapping some pics while we were working, my hands and feet were caked with mud, which made going for the camera problematic.
The past two days, we turned our attention to the curtain situation in my study, and came up with a couple of tab-top curtains, plus a cover for my thrifted ottoman, and I'm so happy with how they came out:

I attached the tabs with a motley collection of old buttons I had around:
Anyway, Viv sewed and I pressed hems and seams, as I can't sew worth a lick. And it all came out wonderfully.
Tomorrow, a few garden pics, if the sun shines.

Janelle! Everything looks sooooo cute! I can't wait to see it all in person, and to ooh and aah appropriately! I need your MIL to come to my house...she's got some talent!
Your curtains and ottoman cover turned out beautifully. I love the mismatched buttons on the tabs.
Hmmm - do you think you could have Viv come to my house for a week or so? I have a few projects I could use some help with!
Love it ALL!
I want a MIL like that! Is she for sale?
Martha :)
Your MIL did a super job on the curtains and look awesome in your new room! Can't wait to see them in person!
