Where does the time go?

Seriously where does it all go?
We have all been adjusting to NC really well and all keeping super busy. Between Anika's Girl Scout cookies, Sydney's preschool activities, and Neela being super goofy, I can't even keep tract of the time:O
We have done some really fun crafts as soon as I get the pics uploaded I will post:D But in the mean time I will show off the curtains I made for Anika's room!


I wanted something girlie and somewhat "fancy". So I wanted an upholstered cornice and then long thick drapes under. But it took me forever to find the fabric I thought I wanted so I changed my mind on the colors, picked something out and went from there. I couldn't get enough fabric to do what I had in mind, but I did save some money and it still turned out fine!
Nathaniel built the cornice, it took about an hour! I had the fabric sitting around for weeks but he got his part finished in one day and so I finished my part the next:D Anika likes it and now her room stays super dark in the morning, I am hoping she might start sleeping in because of it!
I also took some of the fabric and covered a cork board to match. I originally wanted to do a matching duvet cover and some big puffy pillows, but since I can't get more of the one fabric(cheap enough that is) I am not sure what we will pick for the bedding.

Oh and Neela begged me to take her picture too, "not just Anika's room".
