 RH>> Yes, and he just has to do the new door for the one cabinet.
 NB>> Won't be long before he'll run out of projects for the kitchen...
 NB>> at least for now...  (G)

 RH> But wait, there's more! He still has to do the spice cabinet door and
 RH> hang curtain rods.

As I said... the list is shortening.. ;)   For now... ;)
 
 RH>> We ordered a bay window curtain rod and it came in today so now I
 RH>> need to get sewing. First off, tho, I need to do some serious
 RH>> measuring so I can stretch the fabric to cover all the windows. 
 RH>> Going to treat it with something so cooking grease, etc won't stick
 RH>> to it, and they will be washed a lot more regularly than my mom's
 RH>> curtains were.
 NB>> It can be so easy to forget that they need washing... they just
 NB>> hang there. ;)  Treating it for grease repelling sounds like a good
 NB>> idea... :)

 RH> I've not had kitchen curtains for some years. I think the ones in my
 RH> mom's kitchen were ones I'd made for another room while we were in
 RH> Germany, when we didn't need them, I gave them to her. I washed them
 RH> for the first time in who knows how long, last year and surprisingly,
 RH> they didn't fall apart.

We finally washed the curtains in our kitchen a number of years after
we'd moved in... haven't a clue when they had been washed last before...
some of them survived the washing, some just fell apart...  :)

 NB>>> Whittling away at the projects list... :)
 RH>> Yes, I got more done today. I finished a second set of boot stuffers,
 RH>> sewed a button on a pair of slacks and rehemmed a partially pulled out
 RH>> trouser hem. That's in addition to sewing at the QoV meeting. 
 NB>> Impressive.  :)  Getting things out of the way to give you more space
 NB>> to focus on the curtain project, eh...?  :)

 RH> The curtain project will be a few months in coming together. I'm
 RH> working the maths out first so I don't waste any material. But yes,
 RH> I'll have a bit more work room as I clear away other projects.

You certainly don't want to waste material from your bargain purchase...
probably need every scrap accounted for... ;)
 
 RH>> They're saying this year will be really bad because the ice storm
 RH>> encapsulated the pollen instead of killing it. I'm beginning to
 RH>> feel it in the eyes when I go outside and pine pollen season is
 RH>> still a few weeks away.
 NB>> Sigh.  Gas mask season, eh...?

 RH> It hits my eyes the hardest. I bought a bottle of eye drops yesterday,
 RH> in preparation for the onslaught.

Which do you use...?
 
 RH>> I got 2 small bags of spinach and a bigger bag of kale this past
 RH>> Saturday. It's a start!
 NB>> Greenhouse grown...?  At least they're fresh... :)

 RH> Probably greenhouse grown. Today we just got some bantam eggs, a
 RH> (big!) slice of coconut cake (for Steve, of course) and some chocolate
 RH> mudslide cookies.

The last to be carefully rationed out...  ;)
