Roman blinds

This is my first attempt at making roman blinds.

It took me a while to get the courage to post these pictures.

They really are not difficult to make.

Maybe I could use a little more practice.

I found several sites that gave directions on how to do them.

After I had finished these, I found another site

that had better directions.

Go figure!!

Curtains and thrifting

I finally got the other panel done.

The window is all frosted up.

The current temperature outside is -25!!

Not my favorite temperature.

I still have to do something about the window

over the sink.

It could use a blind because it gets very sunny

on that side in the summer time.

I am thinking I will try making a roman blind.

We'll see how that goes.

Thrifting.

Not something I usually do.

But we do have a very nice thrifts shop in town.

It is sponsored by Mennonite Central Committee.

I found this Pyrex bowel with the cute mushroom design.

I couldn't resist it.

The other thing I found was this pattern.

I thought the outfits where cute, but I really

liked the picture of the little girls.
