Distracted

My intention for today was to continue blogging about Seattle and to do some yardwork. Instead I was lured into the world of possibilities inherent in curtains. I browsed in Walmart’s clearance aisle and found beautiful curtains. Or rather a single panel of beautiful curtain. Unfortunately to hang them in my house I need a pair. I quested to a second Walmart to see if I could get lucky and find another panel. No such luck. (HomeTrends Crewel. If you happen to see them, email me and tell me where.) While I was browsing curtains I picked up some other possibilities for other rooms in my home. I’m not sure any of them will pan out, but I have a receipt. Then I realized that if I re-arranged the girl’s room I could give them some additional space and potentially I can hang canopies over their beds. So I dove into that project. Remembering my intention to do yard work, I finally put the supporting cross pieces on our grape arbor. The job on that is kind of sloppy, but hopefully in two years it will be so covered in grapes that no one will ever know.

In all, my brain was busy spinning plans all day long. Not once did I quietly create a space for continuing to blog about Seattle. I need to make myself slow down some, but making my home prettier is so much fun. It is also expensive. I need to take back some of those curtain panels which aren’t really what I want after all.
