I made two throw pillows yesterday. :-)
I also hemmed my curtains (and got a spiffy new curtain rod. -- Now my former dining room rod is in the upstairs bedroom, replacing the cheep, bent one that was in there before -- looks nicer, and it doesn't sag). :-)
I was interviewed by the Dark Canada people yesterday. Hopefully I'll make the final tape. It would be nice to be able to put this on my academic resume. :-) that being said, I can put it on my scholarship applications with no problem.
:-)
Whee! :-)
I now have tenants. :-) For sure. :-) The two Japanese girls (Tomomi and Yuka) signed their leases yesterday and are moving in at 3pm today.
I have to get a lamp shade and some recycling bins (very small, colour-coded trash bins) before they get here.
My financial crisis has been averted for three months! :-) If anyone knows someone who is moving here in November and needs a place to stay, send them my way. :-)
In other news:
I was at Canadian Tire the other day, and I got some paint chips. I'm thinking about redoing the master bedroom next Summer.
I'd be painting the bookshelves, the semi-fancy chest of drawers (possibly-- it's wooden, but it's an ugly stain, so I'm not too sure whether I should be painting this or not) and the bed in an eggshell gloss in "Purple Nite" -- which is really a dark charcoal with just a suggestion of purple in it. I'd change all the drawer handles to a pewter-shade set that are styled like leaves. Yay! :-) (Although pricey: $6 each and I'd need at least 14 of them).
I think I'd paint the walls in a really faint shade of lilac, so that there's purple in the bedroom, but not the sort that (when I'm trying to sell the place in ten years) will make potential buyers go "Ack!".
The vibrant purples would be in the sheets (which I'd have to make... I'll have to get my mom to show me how to do a fitted sheet) and in the curtains -- I'd like to do sheers that are made from the same deep purple cotton (which is, conveniently, $3/m) as my sari. :-)
Anyway. That's what I'm day-dreaming about right now. :-)
