Kitchen Window Makeover

The window above the sink in our kitchen has been bare for almost a year. I just couldn’t find anything I liked. Enter my very talented mom. She found a cute black and white check fabric and whipped up a curtain for me! Unfortunately I didn’t inherit the sewing gene, so I have to rely on her to make stuff for me.

Here it is before….

And here is what it looks like now! So cute! The simple curtain really completes the space don’t you think? She made one for the laundry room too, so when I have that room looking decent, I’ll post a picture! Thank you mom! Maybe I need to give sewing lessons a second chance? Actually, it might be more like a fourth or fifth chance…

Oh, and Happy Groundhogs Day everyone! I guess Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so we have like 100 more months of winter now….at least it seems that way in Michigan.

Love it . . . Keep it »

It’s her comfort position. And I’ve found myself documenting it with a picture or a note on my phone every chance I get, just in case it’s the last time. Babies don’t keep. But I will keep this memory forever.
