Picture Update

Hey there!  Do you have big plans for the weekend?  We have a few things going on, but nothing too crazy.  I was planning to post today about some of my Fall décor I've been working on, but I didn't quite finish and then we've had such rainy weather which makes photographing it all a bit tricky.  So I'll save that for next week, and instead tell you about some new pictures I added to my home tour feature on my side bar.  I really like having a little snapshot of most rooms in my home all compiled together in this flipsnack book.  You can click here to view the updated version.


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

DIY No Sew Pom Pom Curtains

Lyla has been asking for curtains in her room for awhile now and my heart has been set on these, but at almost $100/panel, they are a bit more than I wanted to spend.  So, while I was browsing at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon the this pom pom trim and my wheels started turning.  I've seen lots of really cute rooms that have the pom pom trim curtains, which is basically the same look I was going for.  So I decided to give up my love for the tassels and go with the pom poms.

Because I can barely sew on a button, these would have to be no sew!  Have you ever used fabric glue?  It's pretty awesome!  Really easy to use, dries clear, and the hold is fantastic!  So, for $1.99/yard for the the trim, $19 for the panel from Target and $0 for the fabric glue (already had it, but runs about $4) I was able to make one panel for about $23!

My daughter absolutely loves the look and I of course love the price!  So all is good around here :)

Have a great day!!
