Because we are renting, I don't have curtains up but those ugly blinds-minis on the windows and a vertical one on the sliding glass door. Can't wait to have my own home again!

Love the new curtains, the newly painted desk, and get a closer look at the outer curtains. Love it all! Steve is consistently in my prayers.

That almost always happens to me! Or I'll go outside to do one thing, and end up doing many more than one thing.. one thing just leads to another... same with things in the house and projects, etc. I started making Christmas cards awhile ago, and have ended up getting off track totally and making tons of paper poinsettias (way more than I'll ever need!) and little paper bows (again, way too many!)... but I get on a roll and can't stop.... so the cards get left behind in the dust! You did such a pretty job on your curtains. They are so pretty and cheery and what a great idea to use painter's drop cloths for the drapes.. and love the buttons on the top. The broach from Steve is so pretty and I bet you do treasure it so so much. I love the darling dress form with all your jewelry on it too. Your white desk is darling.. I had a dressing table that was my moms that I was going to paint white. I ended up selling it in a yard sell and regret it to this day! It had a glass top and a curved top with arms that come out that you hang a curtain from to hid the drawers, etc. You are one busy lady! Hugs...

The desk turned out nice! I also love the brooches out in the open. I have so many pretty ones but they are tucked away in a drawer. Think I'll try to find something to stick them on so they can be seen. Good idea! Praying for you and Steve daily. Hope all is calm and well. May your week be especially blessed.

I was recently putting up some shades and decided the windows needed cleaning, which ended up meaning ALL the windows. Whew!
