6 weeks to go.. & sewing drapes.

Dave and I haven’t taken any maternity shots yet, were waiting for the weather to clear up. He did shoot a quick one of my expanding belly. Hard to believe how fast time is going by!

Taa Daa!! I finally sewed some drapes for the kitchen. I found this fabric at Thrift Village for $5 plus it was 50% off so really i got all of it for $2.50!!

Its hard to see the texture and color of the fabric in the pictures. I am in love with the fabric!

Its amazing how a little thing like drapes can brighten up a room!

 

Here’s another project i did this week. I dont have them hung up yet so you can’t see the WOW factor. These will be hung in the office.

This is a shower curtain from Thrift village that i got for $2 ( it was 50% off day as well). From the picture you can see it had hooks to hang on the shower rod. Luckily these were nice and long, I could just chop that off! Then I cut into 2 equal pieces to create 2 panels.

I folded over the top twice to give it a finished hem. I also did this on the 2 sides that were cut. So they looked finished.

Then folded over 3 more inches to give room for a bar. We have kinda chunky bars that our drapes hang from, so I do 3” hems. Did this for both panels.

I’ll show a picture of them all hung up once that happens.

Feeling better.

Oh how i hate that i always take my health for granted. It takes me getting sick to realize how much i love being healthy. This week i got a nasty GI bug, thank heavens it was only 24 hours! It was bad enough that it caused a night in the ER. I was loosing my liquids faster then i could drink them. Causing me to get dehydrated quickly. Dave and I had quite the reality check when we went into the hospital and they gave us our own delivery suite.We are gonna be there sooner then we think. I was hooked upto an IV for about 5 hours. It was really neat when they hooked me up to check the baby’s heartbeat and to see if i was having any contractions. He was the most active he’s ever been and he kept disrupting the heartbeat. I finally had dave come put his hand on my stomach to feel how active he was, Dave was all smiles as he felt either a hand or foot go across my stomach.  We had the nicest nurse, she offered to let us sleep all night in the suite if we wanted too, and she would just give me a 3rd bag of fluids. I have a hard enough time sleeping that i just wanted my own bed. We were glad that Dave’s boss (my dad) allowed him to have the next day off to help take care of me. I am now feeling better and it makes me realize that i need to enjoy being healthy more.

Dave was sad he dropped the poor fellow. Were unsure if he lived to tell that tale.

This is Frank, a Franklin Gull. We rescued him this same evening. Luckily the Birds of Prey Center was still open at 9 at night. They came and picked him up for us. They said he just was too skinny and they would feed him at the center and he would be good as new!

a Saturday of fun.

Dave and I planned a Murray get together in Calgary yesterday. We have 2 Sisters that live in Edmonton and there is 5 of us down here. We don't get to see the Edmontonites very often so we planned to meet in the somewhat middle (thanks to the Edmonton gals for driving farther).We carpooled with Roger and did some sight seeing on the way. Here’s us in Vulcan.

Lots of the photo’s and they don't need captions, so enjoy!

We went to Leisure Center in Calgary and had a blast!! 4 hours of swimming went fast! We dont have any pictures from there, we didn’t want to have to haul a camera around. Plus who wants to sit out and watch the camera when you can be in the pool?!

Then we were off to supper at Pizza Hut. We had a great waitress who was a little overwhelmed with all 24 of us!
