There's nothing like a little peer pressure to kick your butt into gear. So when Linda from My Crafty Home Life asked me to participate in Spring Into Action, I was all for it. Her idea was to convince a group of bloggers to finally take on a project that we've been procrastinating, have us blog about it, and commit to finishing it by the end of April.
So what's mine?
To make some sort of window covering for our guest bath. See that swatch of fabric? That's the sample that has been taunting me for over a month now...
"Make a window treatment out of me", it says every single time I look at it. "Just DO IT already! What are you waiting for???"
To keep up with what the other ladies of the Undaunted Dozen will tackle this month, click on the links below and look for the "Spring Into Action" button on their blog sidebar. Good luck, ladies!

Yay! Go bloggers go! I need to join in with this activity - I've got 2 projects specifically that I would love to finish by the end of April. You can do it Carrie!
ooh i love that fabric! can't wait to see it!
btw i mailed out a box saturday and it should be there today according to the USPS. ;)
Sometimes you really do need a push to get you going. I'm doing a color challenge this month. It's my first and I'm a little nervous, but it least it's getting me to move forward. I see some names on this challenge that are also doing the one I'm doing. Impressive. Good luck on yours. You can do it!
HI Carrie! Can't wait to start ''our" challenge and happy to be following you! Love your bathroom, btw.
Check the spelling on our link :)
Best of luck!

One of my favorite fabrics! I bet you'll have it done in no time and wonder why you waited so long! :)
Carrie - you beat me to the punch! Yikes I thought we were posting later in the week. Can't wait to see how that window treatment turns out!

UM, all I can focus on is how COOL your bathroom looks (even from just that tiny angle), wow! Is the color a light aqua? And the molding, gah!
Ahhh it's so good to have a little motivation isn't it? Can't wait to see the end product!
Yeah this little blog series are about the only way that I'm going to do any of the projects that I just try not to look at around the house!
Not even a teaser, huh? I can't wait to see what you do with that gorgeous fabric. I have the same fabric in sand and I love it. it's so soft and luxurious but I have no idea what I want to do with mine! Looking forward to seeing your completed project.
Great idea! We all definitely have those "I'll finish someday" projects! I think you ladies will definitely inspire me to get in gear too! :) I love the fabric choice for your guest bath window!
The fabric is going add that perfect pattern to the window and it will look stunning, Carrie!
I adore that fabric, I used it on a wingback chair and I still adore it (c: I can't wait to see what you come up with...and yes, nothing like a little peer pressure to get you on the ball, right? (c:
I'm sure whatever you come up with will be fantastic like all of your projects. Funny, I don't see you as a procrastinator- you really must be stumped. Nothing like putting pressure on yourself!
I am looking forward to your window treatment. I need inspiration in that area, too! That bathroom is so stunning. You know how to rock a DIY!
You can do it! I've got a window treatment for the kitchen in mind and I should probably bite the bullet and do it this month!
I think your project should have been annoying your husband to finish your living room end tables. ;)
Carrie, your bathroom already looks great. The mouldings are so pretty...it will look even better with your new window treatment. I used the same fabric to cover a corkboard. Love it! Good thing for this little challenge to get us motivated!
Great idea for a project motivator! I love that swatch, did you decide to use it?
I love that window! And whatever you come up with will be fantastic.
I think the bathroom will be perfect! And how dare you cheat and give yourself 4 extra days!!
Even if you did post it early, I am super excited to see how it turns out! Yay for getting projects done!!

I love that fabric! I can't wait to see what you come up with! Hmm, now I want to buy some of that fabric for myself!
Gorgeous! A Roman shade would be stunning there, but so would just about anything out of that fabric. Can't wait to see!
That fabric is fabulous, I can't wait to see how it turns out.
