Gardening, gremlins, curtains: Three things that should have nothing in common

One polarity that you might be a gremlin ? You do n’t care bright lightness . I think I’msafe , though , because that is the only law of similarity between me and those furrycuties from the 1984 film . I am not small or remotely cuddly . And I have noproblem whatsoever rust after midnight — or any time for that issue . But Ido have an aversion to bright Light Within which causes me to have a darkened computerscreen ( and the subsequent question from all who see it : Why is your screen sodark ? ) .

So it should come as no surprise that when the sunshine comes screamingthrough my role windows and onto my workspace , I flee like I were a vampire(another choice I have ruled out due to my preference for well - done steak).Blinds were a innate solution , but I am blessed with a female parent who can makecurtains . My alone contribution to the project was to pick out the material ( at alocal JoAnn Fabric store ) , which has a human being - friendly gardening motif ( a rarefind , I must say ) . I love them and the softened light they provide , so I amproud to partake them with you . Does anyone else have a one - of - a - tolerant , gardening - tie in decoration or craft they ’d wish to tell us about ?
