    The comment at the beginning about putting off projects "for 400 years" conjured into my mind the image of an immortal going to their fabric stash, having finally found the right project for some fabric they've been saving, only for it to disintegrate in their hands because it's actually been 400 years since they bought it 😂

    I have had a vision. (it happens, don't overthink it).
    The year is 2275, the place is the set of Antiques Roadshow on PBS, where an older woman has brought in an antique wool tweed dress to be appraised, and the two historian/appraisers are nearly giddy with anticipation as they carefully examine the fine hand stitching in an attempt to determine whether this relic is, in fact, an authentic Bernadette Banner masterpiece.

You see so many people who have guinea pigs just picking them up all the time or trying to play with them or thinking it's fun to chase them around, which from the guinea pig's perspective must be absolutely terrifying. You on the other hand let him be on the floor, where he is most comfortable and he is clearly curious and happy to see you and not terrified like those other piggies I know. I so appreciate that. Also, as always, a beautiful video that made a good start to my day.

      For future reference, i have recently found that if you are making curtains with header tape, then its easier to alter from the top, as you can hide raw edges behind the tape. Especially if they are lined curtains, as you dont have to do the beveled seams at the bottom corner. Its just an unpic header, chop off excess length, fold over and press, then reattach the header tape.
