Under Construction

You may have noticed my blog keeps changing and I have been working on it on and off when I have time (on my lunch break today). So I’m sorry about things looking funky, but hopefully I’ll finish it all this weekend and getting looking the way I want!

Drapes

Our bedroom is coming along, but it’s really really slow going because I don’t have much time to work on it, so eventually it will get there!

But I did finish the curtains this weekend and I really love how they turned out.DSC00114

I made the curtains out of white muslin with a panel of black, yellow and white fabric at the bottom. I didn’t do any sewing at all and I just used stitch witchery (amazing!) to do it all. I followed the tutorial here.

I also took your advice and ended up making a large stencil out of poster board for my wall design (above the bed). I’m going to use it to stencil the design instead of tracing and painting by hand. Hopefully I’ll start this week! Wish me luck!
