Latch Hook

A few weeks ago we were at the craft store looking for some fun things to do, when we ran across some kits to do latch hook.

Isabel seemed really interested in it and after hearing how crazy I was about doing it when I was kid, we got her kit to do.

I did the first 4 or 5 threads to show her how it’s done.

After a slow start she finally got her groove.

New Curtian

For the past 8 years, I’ve been wanting to get a curtain/shade for our front window and I’ve finally got it. We purchased a motorized solar shade and it’s awesome!

I can’t wait for the rays of summer! I want to really see how it does at blocking those damaging UV rays on my furniture.

This window is on our second story level but getting up to it requires a ladder.

Well packaged and made in America!

Gino got the curtain hung some time ago but I realized that I didn’t take a picture.

The solar-power option with wall mounted push-button, that we got is awesome!
Lowering and raising is a breeze keeping 90% of the light out and only 10% through.
