It's my birthday today, so yesterday I drove to Target in the rain and bought myself a $20 sewing machine. It only sews one stitch, at two speeds, but I'm having a blast with it. At least with the one hem I've sewn so far. I'm making a curtain for our bedroom door window. Currently, we're using an old shower curtain bunched up on a tension rod. Pretty unsightly.
There's a little shop called Z Fabrics just down Congress St., and I fell in love with this great fabric (top row, middle). I plan to hem all sides, make a little pocket for the curtain rod, and get rid of our old vinyl makeshift curtain:
The current curtain.
The work-in-progress.
Stay tuned for the final product!

Why do I feel compelled to comment on everyone of your entries?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Betsy will be so envious of your new curtains. Assuming she never reads this, I intend to get her a Singer for Hannukah. But if she reads this, then I ain't gettin' her diddly.
Happy, Happy birthday! Also, your belly looks fab. The first time around is very, very special, and everything is odd and new. I don't spend enough time contemplating my pregnant self this second time around, and I definitely miss the time to do so! Best wishes to you and 'N'!!!
