My own " Mistreatments "







This, and back and forth painting the master bedroom, would be " WHY " I am so inconsistant with my blogging lately. Mis-treatments. Arggg...I read all of these other bloggers & get some wonderful ideas & try to attempt them, but then realize...I am Ally. Their ideas look very simple & yet I can manage to screw the ensemble up. I have been wanting some new window treatments for our living room for quite some time. I admired the somewhat,sorta,kinda, cock your head to get the picture style of treatment I had, but times were a' changing. I went to my favorite & economical fabric place not far from home; Johnson's Fabrics, & found the most perfect in-your-face fabric to use & it didn't hurt that it was only $8.95/ yd. Money talks in our household-ha. I came home to find my gluegun decided to not endure this venture & I then heard Wal-mart calling. I began my mistreatment ( from Allyson whom I got the brilliant idea )by measuring & cutting ,then hot glue-gunning away. Is that even a term? It is now. I have mentioned to ya'll that English was not my best subject,so NO editing-ha. I did say " G-l-u-e-g-u-n ". No sewing was ever involved. There were no fingers pricked or fabric ruined in the making of these curtins. I placed them up on the rod & Voila! I then realized they looked lonely. So off to Johnson's, once again. It took some getting use to, but I think I finally made it work. I just need to get two more rods for the other side. I thought I would make one side, before I delved fully into this project. The only thing sacrificed in this endevor, was my sleep. There was no way I could have done this with the boys at home, so I worked on Tuesday & Thursdays to make it complete. I have realized here t the end, that I need larger rods, so...Tuesday Morning, here I come!
