My first item

My craft equipment has always previously been in a jumbled heap.... Its been my excuse for never completing projects.

I now have a whole room for my crafts and therefore no excuse.

My first project has been to make some blinds for the living room, this has also been a project in patience, something I very much lack.

I cut, measured and hemmed the fabric. Dismantled a cheap blind from argos and realised them being white looked daft. Next day, off to b&q, got some spray paint, painted them - waited 48hrs for them to dry... Measured where slats needed to be, glued them on... Now waiting for them to dry before putting them up and testing them.

I had set aside a sat to do this, forgetting about drying stages. Normally this means i don't finish it, looks like this time I have.

Lets hope tomorrow they go on the wall smoothly ... And then same again for the other window!
