busy, busy, busy

I haven't got many home improvement projects done due to canning these:


60 quarts of green beans in 1 day


15 quarts of blueberry jam + 5 freezer gallon bags of frozen berries.

We've also done some tomato sauce and tomatoes and are preparing to can some chili.

Sewed a curtain for the mudroom window


then realized it made it look to cute like a nursery so I raided my fabric stash and found this piece of an old skirt. The girls are visible through the window and are making a movie.


It's held up by a tension rod and some ties. Not exactly the look I was going for but it will do. I also repainted the window frame in a darker turquoise blue ($1.00 mistint from Home Depot). I like the intensity better.

Now I just need to put one more coat of yellow paint on the door and hang the pantry curtain and then I'm done!

I just found your blog somehow this morning and Im in LOVE!:) I love your home and the projects you've done! Your subtle bursts of color everywhere are so cheery too!
Im a homeschooler this year and my hubby just harvested our largest yield of organic honey ever. We sent out a mass email last night and it was all sold out within a half an hour!
Just wanted to say hello and let you know we have quite a bit in common(including the sewing factor!:))
