Saturday is a special day...a workday

Saturday is a workday and boy was it for all of us. Adam and Ben tackled reworking a bed into a trundle for Caprina. A thrift store find at only $10. What a deal and it worked like a charm.Ben

We are a family that loves our peaches. In fact our home canned peaches are called "Peaches made with love". Natalie started her canning this past week and finished up a few boxen on Saturday. I will start my canning tomorrow and Dana has her peaches in hand and is just waiting for them to ripen a bit. Last year I spent some time with the girls canning and now this year they are taking off on their own. What a great feeling.

Nothing prettier.

Sam helped by getting the knots out of this string.

My project was curtains, curtains and one more pair of curtains. The big boys now have their own room and new curtains needed to be fashioned. I went up to begin the project a couple of weeks ago and finished up this past weekend. Here are Dad and Nat getting the clips on for hanging.

We took the curtains from the previous boys room and enlarged and lengthened them to fit the new room window which is considerably bigger. (yes...that is an xray of Buzz Lightyear hanging in the window)

Caprina had an idea and it was PINK!
That means pink curtains in her and Reanna's room. I love all of the colored ribbons hanging from the tops. This idea Natalie had turned out really well. Just a little trimming of the ribbons and it will be done.

Levi and Peter now share a room and these are their curtains. This was truly a challenge for me to work out the even borders and mitered corners. After a shaky start at 10 pm I threw in the towel and went to bed. The next morning my brain was back on track and the curtains came along nicely. I think these are my favorites.
