Chore #10 & #11 - Completed

Here's a little cupboard skirt I made - I'm still having problems getting it to stay up - any suggestions?
I put elastic through and tied it with ribbon on the end to hooks but it still sags - it's taped up with duct tape right now :(.  What else can I do? 

Aleana had an early birthday party with her friends.
I made her an ice cream cake.
Quick blow them out before they melt the whole thing!!


I think she blew all of them out - she'll correct me if I'm wrong on that one :). 

Nadia could not wait for me to get out of the bathroom for her nap the other day and I found her here.
So sweet!!!


Chore #10 was to clean the patio doors. 

Don't they look sparkling?  Nice kids in the background too. 

Another shot of the skirt. 
You may remember another one from not too long ago but the funny thing is that later I wanted to make curtains for the kitchen window so I cut the skirt up for that :).  Will laughs that I'm always changing things but then he can't complain that it's boring around here right?

Oh yes, the downstairs walls were completed as well. No pictures. 
Have a blessed LORD's day worshipping our Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

  1. For some reason, my first comment didn't register. Anyways, sounds like you had a busy yet fun day. The organizing is doing wonders. Regarding the cookies, I think it might be your margarine...is it quite watery?

  3. For the cupboard skirt, is there any way you could use velcro? That's what I use ... put one solid piece all along the cupboard (glue, staple, whatever) and then several pieces along the top of the fabric - although I guess that could be one long piece as well. Since yours is gathered at the top, you'd have to permanently stitch the gathers in place first.
    One bonus of using velcro is that if someone tugs on the curtain, the velcro just comes apart without ripping the fabric or pulling nails out of the wood.
