Oh, what a discouraging weekend it is. I was hoping to be much further along in my projects than I am. I've taken today off of work (yes, I work most Saturdays) and was going to finish the craft/game room downstairs and get a good start on the kitchen cupboards.
First of all I ran out of velcro...again. I have bought so much velcro lately it's crazy, but I figure this is the best way to hang the basement curtains. I am also using curtains as a faux ceiling. Right now they're an off white color but are begging for a dye job. So with the velcro I can always take them down and dye them, or take them down to clean them etc. But besides running out of velcro, I have found the sticky side isn't nearly as adhesive as the velcro side. So I'm sewing them to the curtains. Well I'm trying to anyway. I'm having a terrible time with the sewing and I'm not exactly certain what the problem is. I know the glue is gumming things up and breaking thread and unthreading my machine which is getting really hard to thread. I just got really frustrated and nailed half of one of the curtains to the rafters. But this won't do. So I'll have to pick that task up again later when I'm not so frustrated.
Also, when I ran out to get velcro I went to pick up the beads I'm using on the bathroom cupboard doors. I've painted the cupboard and the inside of the doors is white while the decorative frame outside is black and I'm using square blue beads to ease the break between the colors. It should be very pretty in 3 weeks when the beads I had to order arrive. So there is another project that will sit around unfinished.
And then the cupboards. Actually, no big problems there yet but it's slow going and still not sure how I'm going to be decorating the doors. But it's taking 6 coats of paint to get the effect I want. So, I guess I better get back to painting.
