It's Been a Long Time

Well I was in China for 2 weeks and didn't do much in the way of the house before that. All our time is taken up with trying to prevent all the trees and new plants from dying in the drought that's affecting Houston!
But I'm back and recovered from the jet lag and it actually rained yesterday, so we are back in business. My next project will be roman shades for my sewing room. I bought some really pretty off-white linen at Joann Fabrics (the horror and it's not even upholstery fabric!). I just spent 2034983290 hours trying to find this inspiration picture on another blog. I love, love, love these pleats and how the shades hang!!!!! I'm not going to line the curtains, since I'll be using sheers and the windows don't get direct sun (oh wait one does, but who cares I'm still not going to line them). That way the fabric should be a whole lot drapier.
