Don't you think these make good curtains?

I don't like pink, but when I hung these in the kitchen our last trip, I thought wow, I like these. So the first time I get to think of having time for homemaker type stuff. I am going to try my hand at making them into curtains. :o)



I got them at Wal Mart. They're twin bed sheets. They were $4 a package.
Haven't been saying a lot about our last trip.
We also found out they took a small battery charger.

We always weave some of these (I call them snake locks because of the 'head')


And pair them with some of these:


through our equipment. The tractor, attachments, and such that we store in the garage.
We run a chain, roughly half inch links, through the spare propane tanks for the trailer, and padlock that. We're glad we do, now.
We did call the sheriff and report the thefts. And between Wally World and Lowes, hubby was able to make a new power cord for the trailer.

And I realize I'm rambling so I think I'm going to get dressed and plant some seeds.
These.


Hope you are all having a wonderful day. ♥

    I wish I had an old farmhouse to restore. You much get so much gratification from your project. I can see why you look forward to your farm trips so much.

    Did I miss something? Did you have some 'Sneaky visitors' while you were absent?

    I do like the sheets. My mom used to make all my curtains out of sheets when I was still at home. Then I did for years at our old place.

    That is a great idea to make curtain out of sheets!! Much cheaper than fabric and probably less work too!

    Sorry to hear about the theft at your farmhouse! I am glad you lock most things up but too bad they can't just leave your stuff alone. Hopefully you will be living there full time sometime soon!

    I've been a little hit-and-miss with catching up on my favorite bloggers. Did I miss a post about your trip where you found out someone was stealing stuff from your place? I hate that you have to experience that. Tell us more.

    I made curtains from bedsheets at our old farmhouse a few years ago -- love that material!

    Sorry about the thefts. That's just wrong.
