Red Alert !

Yesterday I took down my tan and white Cabin Check Country Curtains valances and hung up my new RED Buffalo Check valances.

This is a different style (i.e., pleated scalloped vs. Austrian valance) and it's nice to have a change.   I still have to fan these out correctly.

 I usually switch out my valances every six months putting the lighter colored ones up for spring and summer and my burgundy ones for fall and winter.

These are labeled as RED but the color is closer to burgundy. 

 It's more of a dark red than a bright red.

Our new Lazy Boy chairs are being delivered tomorrow. 

 That's when I will know if the new valances go with the new furniture.

We should have more room in our family room after the old huge five piece modular unit is taken away which included a two seat double bed sleeper sofa, two recliners, a huge corner seat and an armless chair. 

 The five piece modular unit was really bought for our previous home where we had a long and narrow family room. 

 In its place we will have four chairs only and no sofa.

My Rainbow Scrap afghan is coming along. 

Sorry this photo is burry - it's dark out today.

But it shows the color sections for you to see.  

The two sections to the left are the ones I added more shades of yarn to each color section.

 I've just finished working up another red shade section (the 4th one) and will start on another section of the oranges and yellows.
