Sorry that it has been awhile- school started here a few weeks ago and life has been crazy busy!! We have a footballer for the first time and that has rocked our world!! anyway on to the house, which has been as neglected as this blog these days :)
LOVED these golden beauties from IKEA! they are an orangy goldy color. To the right is how they came- you know the type- you wad it up on the rod and it never looks quite right? We also bought some chocolate brown curtains for our room and they had a tab system on the back--not the hangy tabby things but a tab on the back of the curtain. I liked how they looked SO much more than the wadded up business, so I took matters and my scissors into my hands. dun dun dun!
I made these slits every 5ish inches- and then 1 inch so...every 5 inches there is a 1 inch "tab" does that make sense?
oooooooooh that hangs so much better, so much neater---so... not "college dorm room".
So the rod actually gets looped on the 1 inch tabbys only. hmmm If I decide to "invent" the word "tabbys" for the multiple tabs on my curtain....should it have 1 b or follow the double the letter rule, like in rub to rubbing? or should it be spelled tabbies? hmmm spell checker likes that, but maybe it thinks I am talking about cats?
Anyway, now I just need to hem them up, because right now they hang a little too low, and I am not taking about that nice pooling on the ground that is so hot these days, I mean they are flooding onto the ground, they look a bit silly--it will happen evetually.
Love the colors :)
