I finally took down from the kitchen window the dirty, half-broken blinds that were always trying to fall down onto William or myself. Now there are pretty, airy, non life-threatening cafe curtains in their place!
I whipped these up in an afternoon after months of thinking about doing them. I always work up things like this in my mind to be a big deal. And then I finally do it, and it's not a big deal at all.
One funny thing about these curtains is that this fabric was originally intended to be made up into place mats. I even had them mostly all cut out. Six months later, I found store-bought place mats that I liked and then had a pile of rectangles sitting around. So, to do these curtains, I had to sew all those pieces back together again. Haha! Which means the bottom curtain is a bit silly, but we'll just call it character.

I think I do the same thing with building projects up. It really is just a matter of sitting down and doing it.
