Finally…

Quest number gazillion in how not to spend money to fix stuff…When we moved into our home two summers ago, we hung a curtain “temporarily” in our dining room. Even though it didn’t really go with the room, it was low on the priority list. Then we got used to it. You know how that works. Occasionally we’d notice it had not miraculously morphed into something different and I’d tell myself I needed to remember to watch for curtains on clearance. Yeah, right. The other day my unloved curtain caught my eye again. Not wanting to have to actually buy something I started looking around the house and realized I had the perfect thing–the bottom of our living curtains!! Those curtains were actually window scarves I was using as curtains and so the extra length lay puddles in the floor. I measured and sure enough. The extra length was exactly the length I needed to make two panels for my dining room and since the dining room and living room open to each other it made perfect sense to have them match. A few hours and pin pricks later I hung up my “new” curtains. Wish I’d have thought of that sooner….
