Part One: Stuff I haven't shown you...

Hello Bloggy Friends

Well, the good thing about NOT posting means that I am behind in showing you some of my home improvements! In the first of my mini-series, here is a valance that I made for my master bathroom:

Valance

I was inspired by the Nester and her window mistreatments. Clearly a professional seamstress, I am NOT!! However, they will suffice. The valance is mostly hand sewn but there is also some hot glue in there too (pom pom fringe).

I made this "for free". The fabric was a result of an error I made when making the pillows for my master bedroom....

Bedroom 018

Yes, one would wonder how one could possibly make a mistake on making "square pillows". Like I said, "a professional seamstress, I am NOT"!!

Thanks for visiting my blog, Jill! I love your decorating! We have such similar taste... My master bedroom has a blue and white damask comforter with cherry wood furniture and botanical prints above my bed! We're kindred spirits!!

I love the valance! Your home is coming along so well, everything looks great! Thank you so much for coming over to visit me, I'm going to add myself to your blog!

I had to crack up when I saw you are the "Forever and Ever House." We have moved so much that our family was getting tired of helping us! When we found this home we told everyone, this is it! They all laughed and said they didn't believe us. So when I sent out the change of address cards, I put on there.... "We Found Our Forever House!" They still don't believe us but maybe we will prove them wrong. ;)
Have a great weekend.
