Curtain to be...

I am making a crochet curtain. It is a slow process. Very slow process. But think I'm almost finished. Decided to make it a bit colorful - white, lilac and blue. The problem is that I am out of all my lilac yarn and can't find more of the same color. Think I just will continue with white? Needs a bit more contemplating...
This is what I have so far. 

finished shelves and a workdesk

I finally finished painting my ugly office shelves and a desk. Have to say - pretty pleased with myself! They are still in their temporary location, hoping to move ... soon... hopefully... But in the mean time, happy with them as they are. In the new place they are subject to a further transformations. But that's another story.

Shelf project.

I found it very difficult to find good looking, but reasonably priced shelves here in Morocco. Decent furniture is really overpriced over here! RRHH!!
So I ended up with the garish looking office shelves. Have to say, didn't get them myself it was a surprise from my dear other half.... Well, it was very sweet of him...
So I decided to beautify them a bit.  I started with one. Just in case. First, covered it with white paint, then with lightest blue. Brushed it over with sand paper and the end result is - beautiful!! Really happy with the end result!  Here are some pics:
