I used to love to sew a lot, but then got so busy that I stopped for a long time.

After searching high and low for curtains that I loved, and ones that matched the picture I had in my mind. I decided to make my own.

Ths window was my first project.

I had some deep blue taffeta that I was saving for a special occasion such as this. It is a beautiful jewel tone, kind of a sapphire blue.

I brought some velvet and satin ribbon from the $1 rack at Michaels that I was thinking of using for J’s sister’s wedding, but never used. (And a bag of yummy lime Tostitos for inspiration)

After a few minutes of sewing and a half hour of getting the poles on the wall I ended up with this…………….

One one drawback to moving to this house is the lack of an extra bathroom. Someday, we hope to add another bathroom after getting some of the other major projects completed. So this is what it looked like when we first moved in.
Notice the slanted ceilings because of the dormers. The shower head is hidden behind the curtain.

Pretty right? I bet you just can’t wait to take a bath in that tub….or maybe you can.
