"I See Window Treatments"
After four years, it's finally happened, "I see window treatments." More importantly perhaps, we actually have some.
My mom was kind enough to make these for Gideon's room. Unfortunately, my lack of math skills and total ignorance of sewing prevented me from accurately estimating how much material we'd need to do both windows. I'll be heading back to the fabric store soon.
They look purple in the picture, but they actually are very dark blue in person.
And, as an extra bonus, I did some remedial caulking around the window trim before I hung the curtains. It's definately keeping the room warmer.

Woohoo!
You're not alone in the calculating yardage incorrectly - I have a bunch of curtains that have been lengthened with different colored trim because I'd actually MADE them and hung them before I realized that they were too short. Gah, talk about making work for yourself.... It's not a bug, it's a feature... right?
Speaking of bugs, how did the death-to-wasps event go?
The Death-To-Wasps went well in the sense that I didn't get stung. It was bad in the sense that they are still there. More on that in an up-coming post.
Congrats on not getting stung - that is a good thing. The continued residence of the wasps, however, is not so good....
I very much hope that your next death-doom-and-destruction-to-wasps post includes successful extermination of the winged pests.
