making my own curtains







Hi everyone .... just wanted to show you what I've been up to ..... sewing and ironing and hanging curtains !
I just did NOT want to buy 'normal store' curtains . I wanted to make my own .
so
for a long time I've been looking at seaangels blog ..... I've been inspired !
I went through my stash of old linens and doilies .
This suits my house ... since my whole house is sort of strange [ different ]. It's all tag sale finds [repainted furniture, creepy doll heads , colored glass and of course ....JERRY ]
I still have so much to do ... I have to paint walls , paint the windows , do more fussing and rearranging .
but this is how it looks now . These photos aren't great , but you get the idea .
I bought the stained glass window a few years ago for $45.00 . It's suspended from hooks .
When I bought it , I had no place for it ....... until .... my new WINDOW !!!!

visit seaangels blog
and posy too !
there's so many great blogs , but these are just two [ of the many ] that I like very much.

one last thing > I'm so into tension rods .... I love that I can raise and lower them according to the sun , or for privacy ...or... for ...... MY CATS .
Have a good night !
