Sewing Saturday - New Window Valances

   This week I made new valances for the breakfast room and kitchen.  I decided to try sewing with grommets and really like the way they turned out!  The contemporary look that they give is just what I wanted and they were quick and easy to make. No special tools are needed to attach the grommets to the fabric.  They just snap in place!  Sewing Tip:  If you decide to make some, remember, always use an even number of grommets!  I learned this the hard way! :)

Decorating...Grandmother Style

My decorating style has definitely changed since I became a grandmother. I doubt if HGTV will be knocking on my door anytime soon to showcase my interior design. But that's okay! After all, what can be better than a post-it note picture of my grandson and me on my closet door?

And I'll bet no one else has these Halloween decorations on their breakfast room window...

I can't wait to see what he has in mind for Thanksgiving! Happy Halloween, everyone!
