so I sewed up some little panels and now I have some updated (and a bit loud, according to my husband) curtains.
here is a night time shot...
(do you have any idea how hard it is to photograph windows?)

This fabric is the perfect choice, since my walls are currently light blue and will eventually be a shade of red. The fabric is bangle dots by Alexander Henry. I love it.
I finished these curtains up an hour before my company arrived on Friday night. Gotta love a deadline!
I think this is the end of the sprucing up the house posts, at least for now. Thanks for all your kind comments. It's been fun to share it will all of you.

Oh, I have that fabric too! I love it too. Kind of reminds me of old time jelly candies with the hard shell or extra colorful Good N Plenty. Either way it's a great sprucing fabric!
Gotta love those clip on curtain rings huh? Makes it so fast and easy! Nice work.
Nice work! I love that fabric. Maybe that's what I need - deadlines! :)
I must do curtains in my study...
a Merry New Year!!! can't wait to get to know you better in 2008... Take care!
Wow! Look at you right back on the craft-wagon so soon after the holiday! Nice curtains - I love the dots fabric.
these are great. I am thinking about cafe curtains for the front of our house in the living and dining rooms. I love your quilts, especially the white and orange one below. I wish I knew how.
Those are great and will look wonderful with red walls.
I adore that fabric! I saw it at the fabric store the other day and immediately told my mother "My next quilt WILL include this fabric!" Haha. Also, since this is my first comment, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your blog. It's very inspiring. I'm 19 and I just got my first sewing machine for Christmas (before I had been using my mom's) and I already have tons of fabulous ideas of what to make with it thanks to your blog. :)
P. S.- Sorry I wrote a novel.
i love those curtains, and the quilt you made is georgous too! it will make a great wall handing!
LOVE the curtains! I have a similar fabric, which MUST make it into the quilt-a-long!
Nice job, and a faboo shift from the lace, indeed.
windows are hard to photograph - i've tried! love the fabric you chose!
Love the fabric - and it looks great!
Love the new curtains!
These are adorable! I'm totally in agreement with your choice to bag the lace and go with a bold (not loud, Kevin... bold) print. Your home is really shaping up.
I made an apron out of that fabric. It is so fun.
