step 1: Bring Ruby lots of tasty snacks. While she eats, Christine and I will get a lot done.
step 2: Buy a large farm table (from the Willows? heehee...). Perfect for cutting fabric and laying out all your project supplies.
step 3: Measu... what?! Ruby's done eating already. Ok. Take a swing break and get some fresh air.
Oh, my. Look at the time. I need to get home and finish sewing some pillows.
step 4: Feed Ruby again.
What kind of mom brings out such a delicious and thoughtful little tray for lunch? Blueberries, broccoli, hummus, crackers, cheese stick... I am pretty sure I used to just throw PB&J at my kids. Ruby, I sure hope you appreciate that amazing mama of yours.
step 5: Measure and cut your fabric.
step 6: Have your husband cut the wood for the top of the drapes. Oh, he's at work? Just put that project aside with the 10 other half done projects and we'll get back to it later.
Then go sit on the back porch, have a drink and just enjoy being with your daughter and grandchildren. The draperies can (and will) wait.
Oh, my. Look at the time. I need to get home and finish sewing some pillows.I may need to join a "project addicts anonymous" group...
I do plan on actually showing you how to make these fantastic and super easy window coverings... this day it just wasn't meant to quite get done. Consider this a preview for a "coming soon" post.
happy monday!
And don't forget about our Sea Bag giveaway! Enter to win by Friday at midnight!

I hope Miss Ruby got a nice nap after all of her time "supervising" y'alls project. Tee hee
Oh my goodness, Ruby is the sweetest thing! Glad y'all were so productive. Still love that room so much with that amazing wood table, and the white cabinetry. Ah, a dream for me. :)
I love this post! So funny! I have some drapes I need to add fabric to, to lengthen them. With my 13 month old around I don't know how I'm going to get it done! I look forward to seeing your completed drapes the fabric looks so pretty!
p.s. Ruby is adorable!!
