I love doing it. Even though I am behind a lens I am not missing out on the even. Being behind a lens allows me to look at things with a new perspective. I use my lens to gaze around the room and catch a smile, a happy moment in time that I have encapsulate forever.
The next day, I went pumpkin picking. One of my favorite things to do in the fall is our yearly pumpkin picking day. Finding the "right" pumpkin is like a formula for most people. Finding the right hue of orange, right size. For me it's all about the the stem.
We each pick our own pumpkin and this year I also picked a white pumpkin. I have always wanted to get a white pumpkin, and just never did for whatever reason. We are going to make him into a little ghost. I have also seen some interesting ways of decorating them on pinterest, like with glitter, studs (I thought about it) and chevron patterns, but I think I am going to be leaving mine just the way they are.
I hope to share some fall themed crafts with you soon. Last fall we made some fun DIY. Check out my how to and halloween section for some ideas. For example, these halloween bat bags I made last year are really fun and easy to make. Have a beautiful week and remember to be kind to one another.
I had a principle in grade school who always said that at the end of his daily morning announcements before classes started. When I was younger I did not pay too much attention to it, but now as an adult, I understand how important it means to be kind and respectful to one another.
To iron the edge, fold the raw edge over about 1/2″ and press. Do this down the entire edge of the fabric. Once your edge is ironed, fold it over again and iron a 2nd time. This is your finished edge that you will sew in a few minutes. Once your edge is ironed, you’ll need to iron the opposite edge as well. Both edges should now be ironed about 1/2″, then folded over and ironed about a 1/2″ again to create a finished edge. Now iron the TOP of the curtain fabric about 1/2″ over.
Instead of folding it over a 2nd time and ironing a 1/2″, this time fold over and iron about 3″. This is creating the finished edge of the top of the curtain. You should now have 3 edges ironed over (twice each) and the bottom edge of the fabric left untouched. From here, leave your curtain fabric alone.
We will now prep the fabric for the lining of the curtain. I wanted a cheap solution for the lining, but that was also good quality. Cream colored twin top sheets from Wal-Mart. 5 each, and I bought two packages - one for each curtain panel. They are the perfect length, and just a tad too wide.
They are a great alternative to curtain lining fabric and come in a wide variety of colors. I didn’t pre-wash the curtain fabric or the sheets. If I ever need to wash them, I will hang them to dry to prevent shrinkage. First step to prepping the sheet (curtain lining), cut the hem off of both long edges of the sheet and the bottom edge. Now un-stitch the top edge of the sheet. Lucky you… more ironing!
