Hanging Things on our Walls

February has been a good month to decorate boring walls. The bathroom known as "Pete's" needed a curtain; so a questionable curtain was created using a fabric remnant & pheasant tail feathers.

After a beautiful day of falling, I mean skiing, we headed home to whine about how sore we were and were to become.
