I actually have the shades sewn for our living room and dining room.  My procrastination is officially over.  Hooray!

Now I just have to do the tedious work of sewing a bunch of tiny sleeves for the dowels (Just finished them!).  Then I have to sew them on and then hand sew something like 75 little rings on and run the cord through them.  And THEN finally we’ll be ready to hang them up.  So really, I’ve only done the simple part and I have a lot of tedious work left to go.  But Mary Poppins was right when she said, “Well begun is half done.”  Right? 🙂
