Turquoise and Coral

I’m so super stoked about today’s post.  So stoked, in fact, that I am writing it the night before to make sure it is up bright and early.

Yesterday I was finally able to visit a very elusive bead shop in my area. I say elusive because homegirl doesn’t open until 10 a.m.!  Hu-lloooo, some of us have work to do!  We need you to open your doors bright and early, how about 8? 😉

I had an idea in mind, but it took about fifteen laps around the shop to figure exactly what I wanted for my next project.   All I knew is that it HAD to be turquoise and coral!

Here’s what I made:

I can make these in any size.  Above are examples of a 16.5″ and a 26″.  Because some of us are into length! 🙂

16.5″
26″
My favorite color combo!
I almost kept this one for myself!

Tea Towels Turned Curtains (Take 2)

Over the summer, I turned some tea towels into kitchen curtains.  They turned out a little shorter than I had hoped, and so I added some eyelet trim, which made them a little more granny-fied than I had intended. 

A couple of months ago, I picked up three other tea towels on clearance at Target. I set one on the oven handle (“for pretty”), and sure enough, Hubs used it to wipe up a gunky mess. Why he would use a perfectly new tea towel when there are a million raggedy old dish towels two inches away is beyond me! ((sigh))

Anyway, there was no way I was letting my  other two tea towels be destroyed, so I decided I would use them to replace Granny Curtains.

This is how they came out:

I set these with the stripes vertically instead of horizontally like Granny.

I then trimmed off the excess fabric so they would be just the right length,
and sewed a pocket for the rod.

…and voila, a new set of curtains for about $4.
