~Sewing for the Kitchen~

 Happy Monday Everyone, I  hope you all had a glorious weekend. Gary and I worked out in the yards until I wilted like a delicate flower LOL, I think everyone knows by now I'm a big wimp in the heat.
Anyway for my Monday post I want to share the new kitchen curtains I made with you.
I still love the white lace curtains  I had made, but I took them down to wash and thought maybe I'll make another set  but in a print so I can change them from time to time.
So off to the fabric store I went and found this lovely linen rose patterned fabric and it was on sale...Yeah for me... so  when it came to my turn at the cutting counter I said (six yards please).
I used some of the leftover red fabric I had from the king quilt for the trim and tie ups. I also lined the valance.
Gary had  just hung the white blind for me. We didn't have a blind before just a lace curtain valance and everyone walking by could see me in my PJ's at night doing the dishes (not too pretty of a sight) Teehehe
(You can click on any photo to enlarge if you like)

 I really do love the rose pattern and the red tie ups bring out the red roses I think.

 Now onto the kitchen table dinning area. I made a very simple long curtain and Gary put up the curtain china plate tie backs for me, these are the ones Gary made for me that we used in our previous  home.
Do any of you recognize "Henri the Roster" sitting on the table well Henri use to live at Penny's house
The Comforts of Home, but he came to live with me and Gary. Henri misses Penny and Mr. Comforts of Home, but told me he really likes here, he moves around a lot he's kinda of a table hopper LOL from the dinning room table to the kitchen table. We love Henri...my Dad got the biggest kick out of him when I told him his name "Henri" you see my Dad's name is "Henry"

 A closer look at the fabric.

 A few weeks back while shopping with my niece Charesse, we ran across this red, green and gold buffet.
I got so excited because it was of course red! I looked at my niece and said "I wonder how much" well guess what it was on sale  half off!!! Yeah of me, I only hesitated for about maybe 5 minutes at the most and then said "I have to have it" and of course my niece agreed with me...LOL

 The drawers came lined, I really like this feature since it stops  my tea sets from slipping around in the drawer.

 On top of the buffet I have new cup coasters that were made by Beverly from My Sew Sweet Studio I won them a while back, Gary and I love the watermellon fabric Beverley used and I think it  adds a touch of sweetness to the kitchen. Beverly is  a very talented quilter.

 The side of the buffet  has a wave  to it,I don't know if you see that or not.

I love the little ball feet, so cute....
 There you  have it new curtains  and a buffet. You all know me by now and know that more changes are to come..like crown molding and bead-board...I can't wait.
I hope the week will be kind to you and that you'll always remember to count your blessings and forgot the days troubles.
