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.

It’s such a beautiful morning here in Virginia. I am thoroughly enjoying seeing all of this weekend’s snow glimmering in the sunlight. The sound of the snow melting from the trees is one I won’t soon forget.

My kiddos made their first ever snowman.

I’m proud to say that they did it all on their own. Not bad for two former Floridians!

Here is what we came up with:
