Using tablecloths as material for curtains.

While I loved my old drapes, I really needed something that would freshen up the room a bit and give it that "spring" feel. My only problem is that my window is 108 inches wide  and my curtain rod is 87 inches high. It takes 4 panels to cover the window. Last time it was almost $200 just for some panels on sale. I thought I would look for some cheap fabric when I got around to it.  Read more >

Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks was a book that I felt had an authentic voice and was also enjoyable. Told from the view point of Bethia Mayfield, Caleb's Crossing is about her view and interaction of the life (loosely-based) of Caleb Cheeshahteaumuck, an actual Native American historical figure who attended and graduated from Harvard University.  Read more >
