Nursery curtains

Update: My curtains were featured on Just Beckause!!! I was so excited to see my curtains were featured on a darling post about ruffles. 

 I picked up a pair of black curtains at my favorite store...{Target} for $17.99 for the pair. I knew they needed something so I hung them and waited for the inspiration. I was in the living room cleaning one day and started looking at the curtains hanging in there. 

Started thinking about how I wanted to change them and boom, like a ton of bricks. I grabbed the scissors and started cutting the black and white demask off.

I used embroidery floss and a long scrapbooking needle, tied a knot on one end and stitched an in and out stitch the length of the fabric

pulled the floss tight to ruffle as desired. and tied a knot on the finishing end. 

Next, I pinned the ruffles to the curtains in three rows. (the ruffles weren't long enough so I had to use multiple pieces on each row) 

With having multiple ruffles on each row I had to cut the extra fabric and floss and retie a knot. 

I then went to my sewing machine and sewed each ruffle to the curtain.

 

I love how they turned out! Just the girlie touch they needed.

Rose Balls For Miss B

Update: I was featured for this project on HofH!! I love this blog and am honored she chose my hanging rosette balls to feature! 

This darling idea for hanging rose balls came from House of Smith's, one of my FAV's  I didn't have any Styrofoam balls hanging around but I was itching to do this project. Then I remember seeing this and new I had my own stack hiding out in my closet.

 The pink and white crepe paper I found at the dollar store, Holla! and the brown at Walmart.

 I bit off a little more than I could chew. I thought I could get the entire project done while watching a movie with the hubs. This is where I ended when the closing credits rolled. Oh, well I finish them another day!

Tada!!! I'm pretty excited at how they turned out! and little Miss B loves to look at them as she falls asleep.
