new curtains
i sewed some curtains for the windows on either side of the door tonight. i forgot to take before and after pictures. i will do so tomorrow. we went on a mad hunt for some new bookcases too and came back with nothing. i’ll have to go to Ikea with my new gift certificate and see if i can come across anything there. i am thinking one of the tall skinny ones should suffice. gib is TOTALLY freaked out by the new curtains. i can’t figure if its because they just suddenly appeared while he was out of the room, because he liked looking out, or because he thinks they’re a person that is about to attack him. regardless, it was very amusing watching him check them out, sniff them, run over to his “safe” chair and then proceed to give them the stink eye every couple seconds when he would catch them in his eyesight. i’m not sure he likes them, but they’re temporary so it doesn’t really matter. they’re a little too contrasty for me, but i like them in general, i just think i need to get used to them. i do love me some black and white, after all.
