Yesterday dawned chilly and rainy so it was my sign to take a break from the garden. I considered starting a new quilting project, but Burton decided we needed to tackle a small projects I’ve been meaning to get around to for ages.

That fabric he’s sitting on…

I bought it back in 2023 with intentions to make new curtains for the studio window. The ones I had came down when we had the new windows put in (July 2023), and the old rod got tossed. I decided I needed new ones, and bought the fabric… but I didn’t have a new curtain rod, so the fabric got tossed in the stash and more or less forgotten about. But Dave and I were out on Tuesday other day, picking out a rod for the dining room window and I remembered my studio window was still in need too.

I don’t make fancy curtains, so they really didn’t take too long.

They do look quite perfect framing my little sewing space.

And here’s a closer look at all those industrious gnomes…

You’ll notice that it’s not just sewing, but there’s a little cross-stitch and knitting going on there too! It couldn’t be more perfect for our studio!
