curtains

I decided against the grommet things. Very nice looking, but too dressed-up for the look I'm going for. Polly mentioned buying premade curtains--which is the obvious solution, except I never like the fabric. So, I'm ordering a little of the fabric to make sure it is the right colors (that's the problem with fabric shopping online) and then I'll go from there.

Becky said...: i made curtains for luke's room before i knew how to kind-of-sew. just hemmed all edges and bought a huge pack of wooden rings with clips and strung them to a wood pole (all from ikea for like $10). quaint and nice and worked. bb; March 19, 2009 at 2:54 PM

"The story is told that in ancient Rome a group of women were, with vanity, showing their jewels one to another. Among them was Cornelia, the mother of two boys. One of the women said to her, 'And where are your jewels?' To which Cornelia responded, pointing to her sons, 'These are my jewels.' They grew to be two of the most persuasive and effective reformers in Roman history. It is so obvious that the great good and the terrible evil in the world today are the sweet and the bitter fruits of the rearing of yesterday's children. As we train a new generation, so will the world be in a few years. If you are worried about the future, then look to the upbringing of your children." Gordan B. Hinckley, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
