The shower curtain

Daughter Karli sent me a picture of a shower curtain she had found on Anthropologie, "can you make one like this?" Well of course, let me get to work on that right away and of course, I put it off. Then she called and said will my shower curtain be ready by Thanksgiving or do I need to buy another one until then?



Oops, "Procrastinated Project Number 24" had a deadline. I thought I left deadlines behind at the paper, guess I was wrong about that, huh?
The shower curtain turned out OK, but I do know after the first of the year I'll be making another one - for her vintagey-type bathroom. My perfectionist mode found a ruffle that's a tad off kilter and that means it's not what I'd call perfect and I can't have that in her house.
Sooooo, I'll begin on that one in January.
First though, I've got to finish a few other projects, like wrapping packages for under the tree and baking more cookies.

A discovery

I'm looking over this blog and all of a sudden it dawns on me - only two entries in two years. Time to do something about that and it's probably time to announce to the world that I do have a blog and that it could be interesting, it could be something that I find satisfying because there are times when I miss writing for the newspaper.
It's been four years since I left the paper. How can that be?
So today I get a better, or maybe I should say updated picture (if there is such a thing) of me. I'm thinking new picture and have to laugh as I think I'm glad Karl is still asleep and can't snap a pic at the moment as I sit at the computer with my white fuzzy robe and polka dog glasses on and my hair uncombed, but me after I put my face on and my contacts in.
