Technically, this problem is explained in eight graphs. But you get the point.
Campaign finance reform! We need it!
Publicly-funding elections (real ones)! We need them!
The curtains are gone, but before I put them in the fiber recycling bag, I took the diamonds with birds off of them so that I can repurpose them as part of the new valance.
As I was planning the renovation, I realized I never shut the curtains in the bedroom because I had a shade, so it made more sense to make a valance.

Here, I have cut out the backing material (it was an old sheet of Matt’s) and am testing the best layout for the birds.

Here, I have put the official material over the backing material, but I have not yet moved the birds.
This will be a project that is done in fits and starts.
