貝貝の美國工作生活日誌

記得半年前有一次一早出門, 才開不到一百公尺, 就聽到車子不尋常的聲音, 本來還想說先跟他賭開到公司再說, 沒想到聲音實在太恐怖了, 我一下車看...哇! 不得了! 車輪胎完全扁了, 趕緊掉頭回去找老公, 在轉彎的時候輪胎皮都跑出去, 只聽到輪胎內框在跟地上摩擦的框啷框啷聲, 真的好心疼... 由於我趕著上班, 車子一丟給老公, 就開著他車先走一步了 (誰叫他10點才上班...哈哈!) 然後他馬上打電話給萬能的AAA (唸法為 triple A, 可以參考我另外 一篇文章 ), 人叫到了後他能做的就是把我們的車抬起來, 然後換上後面每台車都有的spare tire

一直很想要自己做窗簾, 因為看起來蠻簡單的, 比做衣服還簡單, 但是事實上因為窗簾布太大塊, 所以也不好做呢! 首先, 我想要把我們家的書房及客廳隔個窗簾, 老公建議用sheer fabrics 就是有一點透的窗簾, 於是我就去LA downtown (只要看到drapery 就是賣窗簾布) 買了這塊有線條（有線條的優點就是等會在車的時候，可以有地方對準）、有點透明的linen窗簾布, 店家跟我強調這個不容易皺, 一碼 $14, 我買了十碼, 重點是他寬度有 120" 夠長, 所以我覺得蠻划算的 I always wanted to make curtain, becuase it looks so much easier than making cloth. However, it may look easy but due to the huge fabrics, make it harder than I thought it would be. First of all, I want to devide my studio and living toom. My husband suggests that we can use sheer fabrics so you can see through a little bit. So I went downtown to look for the fabrics. After viewing many stores, I finally ended up a store with this sheer linen fabrics. The width is 120", quite big enough for the height of my studio. Then I bought 10 yards and the price is $14 per yard. (Now you know making curtain is not cheap huh?) But comparing to other stores, I feel this is a good deal for me.
