We would have had all the little day-to-day, mundane details of life worked out.

I ordered a bunch of swatches last week, but I may need your help deciding.It’s a big decision if it’s going to last us another 4 years.

We may even get around to finishing the living room by then!.This is one of my top choices, but then I was thinking of something like this for the curtains, so that wouldn’t work..I really really love this fabric, but I think that may be too much on the biggest piece of furniture in the room..

I think this might be the sensible choice.I get the pattern I want, but I can still do the type of curtains I have in mind.

But is the color a bit too soft?

Only time (and the fabric swatches) will tell..At least once a year though, I find myself in a situation where I do wish I had a kit all ready to go.

We don’t usually get the kind of horrific storms and natural disasters around here that end up on the evening news, but we do get them predicted for us a lot and you never know when “the big one’s” really going to hit, do you?Most often, the worst that happens is that we lose power for a few hours and we get a few big branches down in the yard, but even then, having a few supplies nearby would be really handy and comforting too..

So what I’ve done is I’ve put together a really simple, straightforward kind of list that you can use to get you started and tailor to your own needs.And it’s cute and you can print it out for free.
