    DIY: A Simple Curtain


    With the new house going up next door, our days of basking in unadulterated natural light and unhindered views of trees are now gone! 
    Our shower and our bedroom used to face an empty forest. Now they face a two-story house! 
    I got tired of shlepping my bathroom stuff into the boys’ shower, so I eventually broke down and made a little privacy curtain. I am finally at a place where I can admit to myself that I don’t like sewing. I love the idea of being able to make things for myself that meet my needs exactly, but I do not enjoy the process.

    Halloweeeeeeeeen!

    We are now entering into All-the-Holidays-Start-Coming-So-Fast territory. Halloween will be here next month. Then Thanksgiving. And then Christmas.

    Easy DIY Ornament

    I am on our staff holiday party planning committee this year. As part of my work, I volunteered to plan an easy DIY ornament project.

    1. Ornaments
    2. Ribbon
    3. Glitter
    4. Stickers

    Putting the project together was a cinch. I used a piece of paper to create a funnel that enabled me to put glitter in the ornament. Then I stuck on the stickers to spell “joy” and tied the ribbon to the top. Voila!

    I’m all about easy and fun this holiday season!
