Jenn the Homemaker

So, now that I'm an experienced e-bay seller, I decided to get rid of the curtains for the nursery that I had hanging on my front door and make some that actually look like a grown up person's. So, when I sold my pottery barn ones, I made my move. With the assistance of my awesome new sewing machine, I took some fabric I've had stashed since, probably, the first year of my marriage and went to town. (I made two.)

The results are in:
  • They're even
  • They block any peeping tom's

I guess you could say it was a success!

This is what my front door looks like from the outside. Cute snowman, huh. I took down the pumpkin one I had up about 3 days before Christmas and finally put this guy up. And you can see the reflection of my Christmas lights. Codye surprised me with those all along our little patio. Anyway- the curtains are green and an off-white check. Hooray!

Thanks for making me a real homemaker, mom.

SO cute!! Your front door looks great! And cute surprise, Codye! Don't you love Christmas lights? I bet they look better in your snow than ours do in our palm trees...
I LOVE that pillow! SO cute. I should make one for my mother-in-law for mother's day so I need the pattern...or maybe I'll just pay you 10 bucks to make it???:)
