OMG!!!!
I really can't believe I messed up this bad! I had written down on my sticky note that my day was the 17th instead of the 16th. I feel just horrible about this. I am so sorry to all those who have had to come back a second time to see my project. Well, one good thing is that you won't have to read through a long winded post like I normally write for the hops!!!
So I decided that this year when I join a hop I will make an item for the guest bedroom. By the end of the year it should be fixed up right pretty!! The curtains in there were cheap hideous muddy water colored things. Don't know who ever thought buying them was a good idea!!! I came across a beautiful picture while browsing Pinterest and it inspired this lovely valance...
I thought it looked somewhat like a blue sky with fluffy white clouds with a little sunny yellow on top! I am going with a garden theme in there and I didn't want the window dressing to be plain and boring. This was my way to spruce it up a bit! Now, for what to put on it... Wel, with a name like Robin and a garden theme....what else?!! Some beautiful blue birds of happiness!!
Here's a close up of the lovebirds!
And just look who popped in for a visit!! She loves the new window treatment, but then, she is A Little Bit Biased!!!!
I hope you like my project but even more I hope you accept my appology for being late. Now I must go grovel and throw myself on the mercy of Madame Samm and Carol and beg them not to put me on the naughty list! While I am eating crow you go on and visit these other hoppers for today...

ReplyDeleteSo very creative!
ReplyDeleteMistakes happen. You have a lovely new vallance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty valance! How did you do all those curves? Did you applique those? You picked some beautiful colors. I love blue and white - they are my favorite color combination and I love them will a little yellow, too. I love the pop of the love birds. I adore that you added your "Biased" from a previous hop. I have yet to be other than a lurker. I've had some eye issues and had surgery on both my eyes near the end of November and just got new glasses. So, I hope to be able to commit to participate in a hop this year. I certainly appreciate all the effort of you and the other folks. Thanks for participating and your great project. Thanks for the great inspiration and you are going to have a great room.
ReplyDeleteBeing human is a bear - it means we are prone to make mistakes - EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US!!! Don't be so hard on yourself. What an absolutely LOVELY project! Cute, cute, cute! You will have to be sure to post a photo of your room once it is complete. Thanks for sharing.
