Thanks:

1. My sewing machine. Now, I would not consider myself a seamstress in even the loosest of terms- even crafty for that matter, but my patriarchal blessing actually advises me to develop this talent. And so I try now and then. Luckily, I inherited a sewing machine from my grandma. I'm working on decorating our master bedroom right now (I realized that for all the effort I put into Josh's and the nursery our room had received almost no attention) and so picked up some beautiful silk drapes to match my new duvet at a discount store that I'm making alterations to. So far so good. I'll post some pics later.

2. An artistic eye. While I don't consider myself "crafty" I do have an eye for color and design (at least I tell myself that). While picking up a curtain rod at Target, I spoted some cool frames on sale, that are perfect for the MA Bdrm project. I bought three to put some wedding pics (we have tons of beautiful wedding pics) in and group above the bed. They look pretty fabulous, even if I do say so myself.

3. A handy husband. After our first house (an old duplex that we were ALWAYS making repairs/renovations to) Jake usually moans when I start listing my "honey dos" at him- but yesterday he didn't complain one bit when he got home and I showed him what I'd been working on and asked him to help me hang frames and a curtain rod. And I really am glad he knows how to do all the finish work and has accumulated tools over time that help us move our projects along.
