Homespun Curtains

I have been a busy bee!
I am back to work and enjoying every minute of it.
Today was a day off, just for "me" and I have been savoring every minute of it!
Country has always been my favorite theme for decorating. I have purchased a bunch of homespun fabric and started making curtains for the windows in our home.
I picked a red check for the kitchen and completed these curtains today:
I am very pleased with the results!
The walls have yet to be painted..we managed to remove the wallpaper border that was there (what a struggle that was!)..but glad that it is now off the walls and we are on our way.
Next up I will make curtains for the formal dining room.
I have always loved the color blue, and our china is blue and white.
I decided I wanted to carry the "blue" theme from the dishes into the rest of the room.
This is the fabric I picked for the curtains:
This fabric is exactly what I was searching for!
Love designs with petite flowers, and the blue and white is so pretty.
I cannot wait to get started!

**Edited to add..
Here are the finished curtains in blue and white..
I cannot wait to get some color on the walls!



It is a beautiful day here in Sunny Florida.
Hope you are having a nice day too,
