The Creative Place

Not much going on on the craft table right now. In fact, there's a stack of vintage books, a few buttons, a spool of thread, a half drunk (drank? drinken? drunken?) bottle of water, some cafe curtains I'm getting ready to "adjust" to fit our back patio door window and my sewing machine.

Gearing up for a few custom orders that are in the works, but pretty much taking a break for right now. My hubby is out of town until later today and my son is in the middle of potty training, and we supposedly have a pretty nasty ice storm coming this weekend, so he and I have been out catching all the sales at the grocery stores trying to get ready for that. I spent last night (after my son went to bed) organizing the pantry - it felt good to actually have some order in that thing, I've been bad about throwing stuff in there and not keeping it managed.

So about those cafe curtains - they are about 3 inches too short to cover our back patio door window. I found them on super-clearance at Target (along with some nice 84" white sailcloth panels - 2 for $8.31) and figured I could somehow add some fabric to the bottom to make them work. Trying to decide if one solid color would be best, but I have an itch to make some sort of patchwork type something. Here are some different fabrics I was looking at.... can't decide which ones to use, although since the curtains are a cream color (under all the fabrics, with the tab tops) - I'm thinking the green, the brown corduroy and cream floral and maybe the yellow. We don't really have a "theme" in the kitchen- our kitchen/dining area is all pretty much open to Jimmy's play area and our living area...And since our entire house is browns, greens, tans, and camel colors, I figured those colors would fit right in nicely :) We'll see.
Still working on this project, hoping to have it done relatively soon!

What about you? Any projects you're working on right now?
