I love the extra fabric you added to the top and the pom-poms add the perfect touch! I am currently making curtains for our library and it really does save a lot to sew them yourself. I am proud of you! Everything is just lovely.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, PaulaPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955769851619781088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419684017931883072.post-13399373066063030522008-10-05T18:27:00.000-07:002008-10-05T18:27:00.000-07:00WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!M ^..^WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>M ^..^{oc cottage}https://www.blogger.com/profile/07182641182828602874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419684017931883072.post-67739497057929748592008-10-05T18:12:00.000-07:002008-10-05T18:12:00.000-07:00The dining room looks great! and very spacious.

I love the touch of red gingham and the little trim you added. Just right! I hope to get my curtains done soon for my dining room. We just had a new double sliding door installed to replace the really old ones that weren't very good. Maybe I can get to them soon. First I have to paint the new trim pieces around the new doors. First things first!<BR/>~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419684017931883072.post-1906285833236205532008-10-04T05:54:00.000-07:002008-10-04T05:54:00.000-07:00What a beautiful room!!!!

Your home always looks so warm & cozy.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to agree with what you told "anonymous". We are all at different stages of life. My kids are now 30 and 29 yo. But I homeschooled my two kids for 7 years, then worked outside the home. It's not easy to find time to do the things we love, let alone start new hobbies but when they grow up and have their own interests then it's time for "Mom" and that's why I'm finally doing the things I enjoy, too. <BR/>Thanks for the inspiration, Manuela! <BR/><BR/>Marilyn in NMMarilyn in NMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404077289129488919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419684017931883072.post-70484540361937228302008-10-04T05:09:00.000-07:002008-10-04T05:09:00.000-07:00Manuela!!
