Life is sew fun!

I finished up the piano room curtains today and they are beautiful!  Could not have done it without the help of my FABULOUS mother-in-law, I like to call her Mama O!!!!  Here they are and man am I proud:

Beautiful fabric

Just sewed on the European Black linen---fancy huh?

Side view

Front view--going to have to figure out how to anchor the middle of that rod

Opposite side of the room view

Finally some decent light...shouldn't have used the phone camera!

Yea!  Curtains in a picture story!  I will have to take a better picture later with my real camera so you can get the full effect of the big, amazing print!  All in all it took about 4 hours to make these bad boys.  Now that I know how to add fabric to the bottom and make the side seams and lengths match...I think I will be much faster the next time.

Oh and just so you all know...this is what miss Nellio thinks of my curtains and that fact that I am blogging right now and not throwing her a ball...R.O.T.T.E.N.

"Why won't she ever get off that infernal computer....gah!"

In other Otey Abodey news....the room formerly known as "the empty room of sorrow" has now been occupied by the husband's mountains of boxes for work.  Until he removes them I shall call it, "the room of cardboard and potential."  I think I might just stack the boxes into the form of a chair and a side table...at least then the boxes have a purpose outside of making my giant empty room look like an animal moved in....thanks husband.

Cooking lesson of the day:

When making a glaze and using cornstarch....let the stuff actually get hot enough to thicken your glaze or guess what?   Your glaze will remain runny.  There is good news though, even when runny, Tequila Glazed Grilled Chicken Thighs are spicy and delicious, especially with homemade potato chips!

Glaze: Tequila, Honey, Pineapple juice, and Red pepper Flakes

They're a little blurry but: grilled boneless chicken thighs

Homemade potato chips....they make Lays look depressing!

Well that is all the merriment I have to share today!   Future blogs include:  Escapades in Trenton, Weekend Cooking Madness, and Trek to the Desert aka Lubbock, TX!

Until then.
