Streaming: Mash season 1, episode 1.
The weather lately has been ridiculously hot. 95+ temps.
My air conditioner wasn't able to keep up two days in a row and I KNOW it's not a low freon issue, although I'm sure that will happen eventually, and I should get a guy to look at it. It got up to 77 degrees when I had it set to 72.
The upper windows in my living room are the culprits. The morning sun heats up the room and the air conditioning has to work overtime to try and keep the temps down, unsuccessfully.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I was inspired by this photo I'd seen a while back.
I'm not interested in crocheting that many blankets and don't have the right tools to hang it up properly.
SO...
I got a ton of this fabric off the ASG free table several months ago. I sewed them together into a huge rectangle and strung them up with twine to the wall speakers and then upstairs banisters and through my office window, tied to the leg of a heavy dresser. done.
I basically made a huge awning for my living room.
It looks like we live in a circus tent.
Cue Big Top Pee Wee theme song...
I'm not entirely sure I like this and this fabric could easily also become curtains in my office before fall.
And of COURSE, the weather turned around by the next day so it'll be rainy and chill all week. The proof is in the next 95+ degree day. Maybe Saturday, maybe August.
And I just hope the cats don't get the idea of a giant hammock in their heads and jump onto it from my office window, which is currently closed.
The rest of the family doesn't mind it and thinks it looks rather bohemian, which is their style anyway.
Crossing my fingers for success!
I also found THIS recipe on FB. Yum, huh?!
And Aggie girl is finally interested in dolls! I knew she would be. She's into "baby wearing" these days.
OK, back to work!!!
