Curtains for the Baby's Room

Many months ago, I bought one long silk panel curtain from Goodwill (secondhand shop)... I had always intended to cut it in half and make two short curtains for my "office" / guest room.

I also found this cool pillowcase at Goodwill, but not on the same day.

When I cut the panel into two pieces and re-hemmed it, I realized it was just a teeny bit short for the window.

I got inspired by the pillow and decided to buy a couple dollars worth of ribbon to make tabs for the top.

Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the results. Now I just need to make some tie backs for the curtains.

Nat Geo Gets Green

A couple weeks ago, I read that National Geographic had started their own Green Guide.

I was doing a regular google search today to find out where I could buy 100% post consumer recycled paper and the green guide popped up in my search, so I checked it out. It's not bad. Definitely worth checking out. Oh, and you can get the 100% recycled paper at Kinkos.
