And you shall bring me.....a drapery

I just finished (sort of) some drapes for the bedroom. I haven't been sleeping super great and I've chosen to blame that on the fact that there is too much light in the bedroom at night. So, with my handy coupons I went to Joann and got some fabric and lining (both at 50% off!) to make a set of pinch pleated drapes. They turned out pretty well:

As you might be able to see at the bottom, they aren't hemmed yet. I still need to let them hang for a couple of days yet before they will be ready to hem. Until then, they are a little hard to open and close due to the pools of fabric on the floor. Also, sorry about the backlit window in the pic.

are you sleeping better? I took a four hour nap today that Ronda blamed on post tramatic humane society stress syndrome.

Actually I am sleeping better. I'm not really sure whether to attribute that to the increased darkness or a mental placebo effect sort of thing. But it probably doesn't really matter. Good work on the nap! Take a lot of those, they are very therapeutic. Also tell Ronda that was hilarious (the PTHSSS) I totally laughed out loud and now Bleys is looking at me funny.
