Beach time / Work time

We were at the condo the last couple of weeks and I thought I would share a little of how my time went. I of course got in as much beach time as I could. Having done enough skin damage in my younger days (there was no sunscreen then only lotion) ... for real.  I know I just dated myself.
           To make matters worse all of us tanning idiots enthusiasts fried our skin in baby oil and iodine...but I digress.

Now the old wise one, I go out really early or after 6 in the evening. Not only is it cooler, there is less crowds and one can really enjoy the natural beauty of the beach and ocean.

                                                                               

But before you think all of my time was spent in play, I did get a project I had been putting off finished.

Our condo has the standard sliding glass doors with vertical blinds. Although the blinds are a necessary evil, I have looked at them and wanted to soften the look. A couple of months ago I found some fabric at the thrift shop and you guessed it, it was my favorite color for the condo, white and itt was the right price, $5.00. I don't even know how many yards it had but I had enough to make two panels and a valance for the center. I did not want to close the curtains , just soften the blinds. I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

I have two or three yards left over. I'm sure I'll find a use for them but not just yet. Did I mention I don't particularly like to sew. I just couldn't pass up this fabric.

Thanks for stopping by and y'all please come again.
