Butterflies Aren't Free...

...they run $3.99/yard.

I didn't plan on making new curtains for Miriam yesterday. I didn't plan on buying fabric for her windows. I DID plan on making new curtains for my bathroom.

I went to Joann Fabric on Wednesday morning - I was looking for some fabric to go with the new paint color. I didn't find anything that I loved...but just as I was about ready to go the butterflies caught my eye. Miriam has butterflies painted on her bed and she loves butterflies...so I sort of had to buy it. Then make the curtains. Then take them over to see how they looked (also to see if I made them the right length...never a given).

So what did I do about the bathroom curtains? I recycled a white linen curtain that has seen many iterations around my house. It works just fine and I was able to make a 3 1/2 year "Fancy Nancy" happy with the money and time I saved. Totally worth it.
