The Curtain Project

Well, we're all moved in, settled, and enjoying the house. Now to start "The Curtain Project!" The front three rooms in the house face the front yard, and Megan's room especially can be seen from the road (if you know where to look from the road, that is!). Megan's room also gets the most sunlight when the sun shines in the house, so I figured it's about time to put up some curtains. That and she REALLY still NEEDS to nap!! So, a couple of weeks ago I set out to start making curtains. I bought the fabric to make them for her room; Megan even picked it out! She chose pink fabric with darker pink hearts throughout- it really is cute, and it looks nice against her Lovely Lilac painted walls. I started the curtains earlier this week but became very upset with myself when I realized that I had cut them too short. My only option at that point was to make tabs to hang the curtains from instead of the casing I had originally planned. Well, I finished those yesterday and literally hung the finished curtains up right before putting Megan to bed last night. She was just giddy to see her curtains hanging there and kept saying how pretty they are! I'm just glad they're done! Here's a picture:


Now to make curtains for the guest/craft room and then Michael's room. In a way I'm sort of hoping to actually find something at a store that would work since making the curtains is so time consuming, but if I have to buy the fabric and make them, that's okay, too. We'll see how it goes. But for now "deer" friends, The Curtain Project, Part I is DONE!

Check back in a few weeks to see if the next part is complete... Until then- Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
