These Sheets Were Made For Hanging

"These sheets were made for hanging...
And that's just what I'll do...;)
Maybe one of these days these sheets can hang all around you... Doodoodoodoo!"

That is me singing...Quite lovely, I know...

Why hasn't Hollywood discovered me, yet? Such talent, right? lol ;) What a waste!
I can sing and obviously, I can write beautiful music...Simon {Simy} I am waiting to be discovered...I lay around all dolled up, waiting for the call...



I actually suck at singing, but I do it anyway...Quite annoying, I know...And as for the dolled up part...Well, I'll pretend I am...You can do that in Blogland...Wouldn't it be fun to be able to see what people look like when they blog...I think that would be comical...Wouldn't you love to see what your favorite bloggers look like blogging?

Earth to Meme...Earth to Meme...Focus Meme...;)

Okay, I am focused and ready to reveal the sheets I hung as curtains....They are cheap sheets I bought at Walmart...I bought the king sized sheets for the big window and the twin sized sheets for the adjacent window...The king sized sheets are $20.00 for each set {It only comes in sets} and the twin sized sheets are $14.00 for each set...


* Tip~If you don't have a king bed...Go with the size of beds that you have, so you can use the fitted sheet...Or you could make pillows out of the fabric...







You can use rings or slide it through the top...The top has a solid goldish tan band {I hid mine, by flipping it over and clipping it}...If you don't like the band...Sew across it and make a new pocket...Or iron on adhesive tape...







Here is the detail of the sheets..I love the colors in the stripes...Creams, soft
tan, golden yellow, red and brown...I think it looks rustic...



Here is my rustic farm table close up...Her name is Daisy, I found Daisy, while working on a model home...I fell in love with her reclaimed table top and distressed chairs...I am taking her two chairs away {and putting them on each side of a sideboard...I will be purchasing}...




I will be adding the two {free} chairs from my Saloon Game room...I am slip covering them with an old drop cloth and monogramming the backs of them {I upholstered the chairs in the Saloon with drop cloth, too...}

* Tip~ Drop cloths are another cheap fabric you can use as curtains...Or any other project you need a lot of fabric for...Like slip covers and upholstery...


Here is a picture of my Saloon...Those are the chairs I will be slip covering....



Back to Daisy's reclaimed, rustic table top...Isn't she beautiful?
All distressed and worn out...I love her the most, because my kids can be kids and enjoy eating, art projects, science projects, and I can't forget the most important activity....video gaming {yes, they have friends over and they all bring a TV and set up on Ole' Daisy Girl...So fun!} All without worrying about her getting damaged...That is the beauty of distressed and vintage pieces...They allow you to live and enjoy life more...and look beautiful while doing it ;)....




She is the place where I learned how to slipcover for the first time...Where my sister and I, and our families all gather around for our annual Gag Gift Party...Where my family gathers each holiday to celebrate, she is the table that Mr. Screaming Meme chases me around to try and catch me...With each new ding and scratch she becomes even more special to me...Do you have a "special" piece of furniture that holds memories? Do you name your special furniture? ;)




Here is Daisy's base...It is carved out sunflowers... Don't let her know though...I don't want her to be confused...;)




I wanted to share Emmers basking in the sun this morning...So peaceful...
Look at how the sun beams off of her beautiful coat...and how the sun picks up on her curly eyebrow whiskers...Awwww!





Have you ever seen curly eyebrow whiskers? I love them! Because they make her even more unique and special because of them...Life is beautiful when you look around...Even sweet little doggy eyebrows ;)
