For some people, doing crafts is a way to calm down, relax and have fun. The other night, I got this grand idea to make curtains for my office, and let me tell you how that turned out. Some nice white, grey, and yellow stripped fabric was chosen, and I picked up some needles and thread, mostly because I wasn’t sure where mine were at home.

Well, long story short, it took me 45 minutes to make one set, and I’m talking about a small set of curtains. I ended up making the opening for the curtain rod much too small, and then I didn’t make the fabric even on the front and back....it’s been a while since I’ve sewn anything.
