DIY Project
I'm so proud of myself I just had to post a picture. My DIY skills are definitely improving! I've never put up a curtain pole by myself, but tonight I did it!
Okay, I know. It's no big deal putting up a curtain pole. But to me it's an accomplishment because I'd been procrastinating. I'm usually crap at doing stuff like that. I almost gave up once tonight because I thought I was doing something wrong. A long hot bath gave me time to come up with an idea how to fix it, and it worked.
And yes, I did iron the curtains before I hung them. It wasn't until I saw the picture and saw the shadows in the creases that I realised it didn't look ironed. I am not taking them down tonight to re-iron though ... I don't want to start swearing again!
Now I've just got to figure out how to install the new light fitting in the kitchen ... Best get some help with that one. I wonder if my dad is willing to fly over to lend me a hand. Then again, after he put the ceiling fan up in the living room in 1980, it took almost 20 years for him to wire it in properly.

LOL I totally thought "Iron, girl, iron!" Then I read your article. The rod looks awesome. And if you can just dampen the curtains with a water sprayer, then tug gently at the bottom and smooth them out, maybe they will dry less wrinkly. Anything to avoid ironing. I'm with you there.
Thanks for that tip, Nancy! That's just what I'll do! :-)
Does this make you the DIY F1 Chick? :P LOL
