project curtains

I did a little post about my upcoming curtain project on August 9th. I finally completed that project. (slightly embarrassed that it took that long. I'm ridiculous.) I used this super easy no-sew tutorial.

I am so pleased with the way they turned out. I definitely made a false statement above--I still need to finish the bottom hem and buy more curtain rings. BUT, they are basically done. :)

I found curtains made out of the same fabric on CSN for $315 a panel. That is CRAZINESS.

While home for Thanksgiving I purchased a chest of drawers from Brent's family (Ty's BIL).

(There is a weird shadow on the chest. It's not a flaw.)

They had a couple of other similar pieces, but we don't have room for them right now. I love the style of this furniture. It belonged to Brent's great grandma and I believe it is from the 1940s.

I'm going to be sad to take down these fun colors!


Ty and I did some Christmas shopping and wrapping this weekend.

{Ignore those shelves behind him--I'm still working on filling them up.}

I found these tins at Hobby Lobby and they reminded me of our stockings and the combination inspired my Christmas theme this year--polka dots and leopard!


My stocking from Ballard Designs.




Ty's niece's present

They moved and her new school mascot is an owl. Her present may or may not have something to do with this as well.



This was the first weekend since August that Ty has been home all weekend without working. It was SO nice. I have missed that man.
