New Curtains and Prim Breast Cancer Awareness Hope Doll

Hello. I hope you are all having a great day.  I posted wayyyyyy back last fall about wanting to get some different bedroom curtains. Well, I finally did something about that.  After looking everywhere it seems, I decided that plaids, checks and stripes were not for me at this time.  I am really into plain, plain, plain.  So with that being said, I made my own using osnaburg.  I really liked this for several reasons....while I do sew, I can only really sew straight lines.  I only sewed the rod pocket and just tore the rest of it to have unfinished edges. The material was way cheap so if I messed up, which I did once, it was not too big of a deal.   Remember...measure twice, cut once!!  They fit into my plain theme and they are light and airy for summer.  I coffee-dyed them to age them and ta-dah.......curtains for only $5 per window.  Told you it was cheap!!  When I tire of them, I can just use the material for some other prim project.  I hung them with a curtain rod although I love the look of hanging from jute.  We have all new windows and trim so I couldn't bring myself to nail into it.  For a tie back, I just used old wooden clothespins. I pin them back during the day for air and light and unpin at night for privacy.  I just love them!!

I have also been working on a doll for my selling blog.  A few years ago I had seen a breast cancer awareness doll. I made a couple and decided it was too time intensive for me.  I like quick and easy.  I came up with this doll and will be listing her on my selling blog.  A portion of the proceeds will be set aside and donated to our local  Relay for Life teams.  I'm sure we all know someone affected by this terrible disease and I hope to try to help out a little bit.  Stop over and check her out. 

I have also been working on refinishing a little chair.  I stripped and stained it over the weekend and now it just sits patiently waiting a coat of sealer.  Maybe tonight??  I share when I get it finished.  Well, that is all for today. Have a great rest of the day and thanks for taking time to stop by.
