Ta da!

I really amazed myself this time! I guess its true that if you are really determined, you can accomplish anything. I didn't even get mad at the sewing machine even though every time I use it my patience is maxed out. Maybe if I used it more often I would actually remember how to use it..?


Note: I really need to learn how to use my camera to my advantage. The lighting is awful and you can't tell how truly fabulous this looks from the pictures. My apologies.

So here they are! Josie's curtains.

 We'll have to find a way to fasten them to the sides so we don't minimize the lighting. I'm thinking velcro wth a lttle blue bow but we'll see.

We made the rod be a lot wider than the window so the thick curtains wouldn't completely take over the window. Plus it just makes the window look better. I like it now that is done!

Ahh, that looks better. I guess the camera can't capture the detail that makes the curtains so wonderful. But at least up close its easier to tell!

We left extra fabric on top so there would be  more of a "ruffle" effect.

So what do you think? You really have to use your imagination at this point since we are missing so many things. Picture a white crib, pink lamp, window trim, round rug (color to be determined, any ideas?) and so on. 3 months left to get this room ready!
