My homemade curtains

I just wanted to share this photo with you, because it makes me so happy.

Two years ago my oldest son and I moved in to our own apartment in Denmark, and I made curtains for all the windows myself. These are my favorite. They were for my son's room, and when I saw this material, I immediately knew this was what my son would love. His father was living in Florida, and we knew that we would join him at some point, we just didn't know when, so I thought this fabric would be a good reminder of his father.

Most of it I did on the machine, but some of it I did by hand, and when I showed my mom and my grandmother they were so amazed, as they had no idea I could sew like this. I really couldn't, but I found a sewing handbook for the invisible stitches, and I was so proud.

I also made matching duvet covers for both of my son's comforters.  

I had made the curtains extra big, so that they would be able to fit many different window sizes. We brought them with us, when we moved in February, and I had kept asking my husband to help me put them up. Well, it never happened, but this Sunday he finally came home with a piece of wood from Home Depot, and two coat hangers. I thought it was quite funny, but I like the fact that he is being thrifty, and I think the result is great.
