cat-scratcher-3
left: david's idea;
center: my idea;
right: the reason we had gym socks on our bed for over a year

i completed the bedpost (cat scratcher) covers and curtains! i lol'ed everytime i saw those nasty gym socks on the bed. david had good intentions and did what any guy would have done. i didn't have a pattern to follow and designed my own. the finished product was not the original design. after i cut the fabric i realized i screwed up in a major way and had to redesign the entire thing. it took me four hours to sew/make the bedpost covers (3 hours over what i estimated).

the curtains (you can see them in the center picture) are nothing special. they are over 10 years old and were way too long for the area. it's near velveeta's "living quarters" and would get gross. i sewed the two panels together to make a swag curtain and shortened the length. i wanted to buy all new curtains but considering we might not be here much longer, i saved the money for some decent ones when we move into a house. david isn't too keen about our revamped curtains and actually liked the way it was before. but to me it's better and that is all that matters at this point. :oP

i plan on getting ashton's bunting bag for the stroller and some hooded towels completed by tomorrow. exhaustion has hit me again. i sleep a good 8 hours at night and need a two hour nap shortly after i get up. i know it's normal and expected since i am in the middle of my third trimester. but it really takes it out of me. feeling good though. excited about thanksgiving!
