Kitchen curtains!!

Finally here! I worked on my kitchen a little every day during spring break and finally I have it all decorated!

The curtains are made in 3 panels with a valance made out of cupcake fabric matching the pillow covers I got from Sewnfromtheheart a while back and the entire window is covered in black light and sheer knit fabric

Why black, you ask? Well, let's just say that since I don't have a private fence on the back of my house, I caught the neighbor kid picking through the kitchen windows, specially when my kids are doing homework which is appalling and distracting.

The sheer knit material allow us to still see outside, but keep the unwanted lookers out of sight.....(see what I did here??)

We still get plenty of light in the kitchen, plus they offer a wonderful shade in the hot summers. And If I need more light, I made little pulls for them in matching cupcake fabric.

On the other side of the windows I have the back door and I thought this wonderful needle point made especially for me from My1SweetAngel was perfect to decorate it, don't you think?

Now all that was left was to decorate the table, but I didn't have enough material to make a table cloth :/
So, I got thinking and I said to myself: why don't leave the table naked and just decorated it with a table runner?? I think it looks very modern and family was happy about the change.

Still, I have few little fabric scraps and I wonder: what to do, what to do? Experimenting of course! (Up for grabs by the way!)

A shop I love: TheStraightStitch

I found another treasury in twitter land and I'm going to share it with all of you: TheStraightStitch.

Parasols Cutlery Wrap, $10 by TheStraightStitch

Another plastic fork broken mid-salad? Another plastic knife for the landfill?

Have you been tempted to carry your own cutlery with you, for the good of the the environment, for convenience or to avoid that irritating broken fork salad situation?

Keep your flatware clean and tidy in this handy and stylish cutlery roll-up. The flap folds over to keep your cutlery from falling out, so you can toss this into your bag without even thinking about it. There's even a pocket for your napkin, cloth or paper, whichever you choose. Flip the wrap over and it would make a great little place mat.

Measures 10"x12". Comes from a smoke a pet free eco-home. Machine wash cold (preferably) and hang to dry.
