Baby's Growing

Last week Gray brought the boys to Mountville for a couple of days and we got to enjoy their antics. Collier is growing and changing so fast that I feel that I just have to see him every two weeks or so to keep up. He's such a happy baby with a ready smile for anyone who'll pay him some attention. Hamilton continues to delight us with his perky personality and ever increasing vocabulary.

With a pillow or two Collier was high chair ready. 

Grandma gets in on the action.

The cool snap surprised us but Hamilton is still ready for a golf car ride equipped with Mimi's jacket.

Learning Something New

Most of my sewing projects have some measure of a learning curve to them--especially window treatments-- since rarely are two alike for any client, but just recently an etsy client of mine requested a flat roman shade with no strings to pull to make it work up and down. She pushed me out of my comfort zone. I was already
aware that the hardware existed for that very purpose, but I had never used it.
With help from the supplier of the hardware and my long-suffering husband, I created my first fabric shade that works like a roller shade. What a neat idea! Here are the results.
