A Thorn Among Roses

crafty sewing alert...my tribute to cheapness and 30 minutes of fun! {you have been warned} this is the window over my kitchen sink that looks out in the back yard...my "check on the kids" window! the thing about this window...its literally the first thing you see when you walk in my front door...bc the hallway funnels right to it...and it just didn't have enough pizazz...so i decided to change it. so some hugely discounted fabric...texas shopping find with my SIL meg...and viola...the after! it had to be fast and simple, bc, well, that's all i have time for, so i literally folded the fabric in half, hemmed each of the raw edges and sewed them in a rectangle. simple. then the pizazz...the fringe...isn't it fabulous? i pinned it on the front at the bottom and sewed directly over the top...thread color was close and you can't even tell! woo hooo! final touch??? the cafe rod cover...ok, first, the cafe rod is from wal mart, used ont he initial window covering ...
