The day has begun. Actually, for us, it began almost four hours ago. We have been to the health club to exercise and are back home after stopping at the grocery store.

Yesterday I made some progress on the Roman shade. The top and bottom hems are pressed into place. I found the original lining which I will have to recut to fit. Today I should have the lining and interlining ready to stitch in place. It is not difficult, just very tedious - - - a lot of measuring, cutting, and stitching.
