Finished Curtains...Finally!!!

i thought these curtains were going to be the death of me! at the time of purchase, i didn't realize that there was a slight bit of stretch in them. for a novice sewer, that made things extremely complicated, to say the least. after a couple weeks of avoidance, i finally sat down and got 'er done.

even though i claimed that if they were gong to be plain black, i would not do them...alas, i agreed. they are a pin stripe


the dog sure loved them

after:




meanwhile...i love going to the dollar store and getting the cheesiest holiday decor POSSIBLE. here is my easter ensemble:




how hilarious is this cardboard flower arrangement?? how do i NOT buy this?


and how do we forget this crafty wreath i made?


not bad for $10 and some change. gotta love the holidays
