sewing project #5: curtains

August 30, 2010

My sister, Kendra, started school a couple weeks ago.  She’s a middle school teacher. We’re like two peas in a pod,  thick as thieves, twins separated at birth.  Anyhow, we’re really, really close. When she gets out of school for the summer, my “routine” is completely thrown off. She wants to go eat lunch, go shopping, go swimming, watch old movies, etc. This summer was no exception.  (Okay, okay, maybe it’s not ALL her fault.) Well, she started a new school this year and wanted me to make her some curtains. I wish every classroom in the world was like hers. She loves color . . . maybe even more than me. Her room is bright and cheery. She’s one of those teachers who works on her plans throughout the summer and starts working on her classroom way before it’s time to go back to school. She takes her job seriously and works hard. So, I was happy to make her curtains. She deserves more than curtains. During her hectic first day of school, she told me looking at the curtains made her smile. I thought “mission accomplished.”
