a quick project...

Really? Is there such a thing??  My hubby would definitely say no.  I know his favorite words to hear from me are, "Hey, I have an idea."  But, since he's not here.... I say, let's do a quick project!! 

Today is Friday, and tomorrow about 10 little boys and their families will be coming to lunch to celebrate another fabulous Pirate Baseball season.  What does that mean....it means, that I should be straightening and cleaning and scrubbing a few toilets. Yuck.  But I am not. I am, however, whipping up some new curtains using my favorite material. 

Drop Cloth.  

Yep, you read correctly.  Drop cloth.  The cheap, $10.00 per package kind.  I love it!!  I've used all over my house... my living room, in the office, and now the breakfast room windows are getting a little update! 

This is a 6' x 9' panel. I washed and dried it first to give it a soft, linen type look. Then, I split it in half, so now I have 3' x 9' panels.  Next, I am going to hem the side where I made the cut.  Last, I will clip and hang with my second favorite material.  Rings.

I mean really... it's that simple!!

Now, on to the less fun things, like cleaning and scrubbing.  Happy Friday, Friends!
