Stitching tonight?

I actually did some stitching tonight although that was not the plan. Husband and child are gone for a long weekend so good time to get a lot of projects tackled. Stripped and washed all the beds including pillows, comforters, and quilts. Those are all made up again except for the two biggest pillows which are still drying.

Then decided to hang some more curtains. We've lived here 3-1/2 years now and still had curtains we brought over from the old house that weren't up. So I pulled out the handy-dandy cordless drill and slap in the batteries ... nothing happens. Hm, some idiot man unplugged the charger. Called him and he said, "It was warm so I thought it should be unplugged." D'oh! So I plugged it in and put the batteries back on it and left it overnight. Got up and tried again this morning and still no juice. Go over to Home Depot. The new cordless tools by that manufacturer use a completely different type of battery so they only sell the old ones online. Sigh. Pick up some little screws I need to hang the latch hook projects stitched last year. Walk by the Dremel stuff and remember Dad gave me a Dremel set for Christmas. Go home and use Dremel to make pilot holes to hang curtain rods. Slick! Guest bedroom done, no problem. Start threading the valance on to the rod for the laundry room--problem! The stitching is out of most of the rod pocket because man snagged it when taking it down from the old house and pulled the stitching out of about 4' of it. Sigh. It is now very neatly backstitched and hanging in the laundry.

Bought new curtains and rod for the master bedroom. Washed the curtains today (to get rid of that nasty smell and the fold marks) and they look great. If I can get those up tomorrow and get the freezer defrosted, I guess I'll have done well for my weekend. I need a vacation from my vacation. Or at least a nap.
