KITCHEN CURTAINS

 Yesterday I told you I was making small changes

in our home décor.  One thing I'm trying to do

is limit my buying.  I've always been a

"use what you got"

kind of girl,

even if that means having to

totally remake something or using it for

a purpose it wasn't made for.

 My Mom has an entire drawer of cloth napkins,

kind of strange because I've never known

her to use them unless it was a holiday.

Mom and Dad have always been

paper napkin people.

 Well, I've started using them,

not for every meal but when it makes sense.

Dad fights it.

I started thinking,

what can I use them for.

The kitchen curtains were in very bad shape,

I think they had been hanging for 13 years.

Mom may have even had them

at their old house in Meridianville.

  They were faded and thread bare

and had to go.

I chose these green and purple ones.

They looked like they had never been used.

Now, I'm not much of a seamstress and I haven't

investigated Mom sewing machine yet.

I kept it simple and sweet.

Used a tension rod and just hung them over it.

I can live with it.
