Here is a pic of the curtains I made for the office (computer room at home). Nothing special but I wonder how long it will take my DH to notice them???

I've also started to work on my Granddaughter's quilt. Here are the fabrics for it. I'm doing a pin wheel "Sweet Dreams" quilt for her for Christmas 2010.

Love the fabrics. I must say that at my house, the drapes would go unnoticed FOREVER. I do like yours, though.

I like your quilt fabric choices.

As for the drapes, my husband would never notice. Some might be insulted by that, but not me! That means I can do anything I want as far as decor goes. This entire house is green with pink roses. Super girly and he couldn't care less.

They are just above the vent, but I do need to hem them in the morning.

A southwestern style/design quilt and of course I'll do curtains to coordinate.
