Grain Sack Curtains









Just a sneak peek.
One half done.
These are very heavy drapes and I even have lined the back for more insulation.
I have really been trying to add some color and fun to the industrial side of things around here.
I stumbled upon this gorgeous floral fabric.
It matches the color of the paint in the bedroom perfectly. Not sure how it was going to look and a little scared to take the risk but I adore the way it turned out.
So it adds a touch of girly but is not the focus of the room.
These drapes are long and full, flowing and gathering nicely on the floor.
It was hard to get a great picture since it is a super cloudy day out.
So here is a variety with flash and non-flash...

K, back to the sewing machine I go.
Have a great Saturday!

Enjoying my Nest


I feel like I have lost my crafting mojo.
It just isn't there right now, and I know there is no forcing it or it just will turn out to be something I hate or tossed to the side unfinished.
I hope it returns soon. The last time I lost it was when I was pregnant. I had no desire whatsoever to craft.Etsy isn't helping matters either. Their whole new way of listing in relevancy instead of recency has really hurt business. Seems no one is understanding this concept, buyers or sellers.
So until that gets sorted out I am not wasting time on making new items for no one to find.
Instead I have given more attention lately to my own nest.
Reworking things. Making more of a space for my family to feel comfortable in.
I have brought so much home from my recent travels that I need to sit and make my own home pretty with it all.I have some big surprises coming soon for people in my life. and as soon as I share it with them I will share it here with all of you.
Have a great Sunday :)
