Nifty I Made it Monday

I know that you all have seen me use a lot of this fabric collection lately
It is for my craft room that someday you all will get to see instead of
the bits and pieces as I make them I hope you all enjoy.























the bottom of the curtain is red to match the red strip but the camera didn't like it red I guess
Ignore the yarn holding up the shear I broke the curtain rod and haven't replaced it yet
