I borrowed a sewing machine from a friend in the ward, bought thread (forgot to take the curtains with me...not quite the right color...oops), and had both sets finished in about 2 hours. The thread ended up looking fine and the curtains were easy to hang up on the plain white tension rods I bought.
This picture makes the color look like it clashes with our quilt, but it looks fine in person. My only dilemma now is what to do with the curtains. They look a little squashed behind our headboard, but tying them to the side looks a little silly because they're quite stiff. Any ideas?
I also made a fabric/ribbon bulletin board for Cassie's room. It cost more than I expected and actually took a lot of time to finish. And even though it isn't perfect, I think it will last a long time and will be fun for Cassie to have in her room as she grows up.

Good work. You're doin' Wymount right. :)
The board is way cute and you have to show me how to make one for Alex's room.
Good work Suzy Homemaker! You're inspiring me to take down the sheet the boys have hanging in their play room window and put up something real!
The curtains look great! Thom just hung some in our bedroom. I guess it's about time since we've lived here for over 26 months now :) Now I can nap during the day...that is if I can get everyone on the same nap schedule.
Yah, good work! Nathan's had sheets over his window for almost a year. My current excuse for not making curtains is that I'm waiting to find out the gender of baby #2 so I can know what color curtains to do. I've wanted to make them, but you're right, it's probably less expensive to buy them. And you got the best of both worlds, because you still got to do some sewing to make you feel all homemadish.
