Happy T Day ladies and any gentleman who happens to stop by also. It is another Tuesday already, which means it time to link up a drink post over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog. Tuesday is T Day after all.
Last Friday night the hubby and I needed to go to the grocery store, and we decided to go get some dinner before we shopped.
I'd been wanting a taco salad all week, so you can guess what we went for.
Mexican of course.
And it was Friday, the end of a busy workweek, so I thought a nice big drink would taste good.
I'm always game for a margarita. The hubby liked that idea too. At La Carona, the restaurant we visited, they make really nice margaritas. But I can only drink one. That's my limit.
And my salad really hit the spot too, even if I did eat more of the high calorie shell than I should have. The hubby doesn't eat guacamole so I got double because he gave me his. :)
Good thing I had just a small tub of yogurt for lunch.
And I wonder if you might remember this journal page I made back in July when Elizabeth hosted Art Journal Journey. Her theme was Summer Loving.

Here's the original link: Fresh Fruits and Veggies.
Anyhow, at the time I said I though this design would make a great fabric, and many of you agreed. Then CJ mentioned it would make a great pattern for kitchen curtains.
So one of my summer projects was recreating the design on fabric.
I decided to hand paint fruits and veggies on 2 pieces of white cotton fabric that was in my stash and were just the right size for making a valence.
I stamped the words with some waterproof ink.
And this past weekend I had Saturday afternoon all to myself, so I finally sat down at the sewing machine and did a bit of stitching. The sun streamed in the windows, the only noise was the sound of the machine in its regular rhythmic pattern, straight line stitching was easy and relaxing.
Not sure which photo give you the best view, so here's my new kitchen valence.
I even added a bit of lace I had in my stash. Total curtain cost was $0.00.
I am happy with the results.
Thanks CJ for the kitchen curtain idea.
That's all for me today.
And thanks to all of you for stopping by and visiting my blog today.
