Nesting

We bought this print for the living room from matteart through etsy. It was originally intended for the living room but we decided to do something different leaving the poor bird homeless. Six months later it has found its home in our bathroom. I think it is perfect in there and from now on I will tell people I bought it intentionally to go right there - don't tell.

The other funny thing about that bathroom is the glass lantern hanging from the ceiling was never supposed to stay there. When we unpacked it we literally hung it on the only hook in the the entire house to just get it out of the way thinking we would move it when we figured everything out. Lucky for us, we figured out it was perfect there.

Canvas Curtain

When I bought this canvas the people selling it asked what I was making. Apparently they had never sold 3 yards of this stuff to one person. When I said I was making a shower curtain they couldn't believe it. Normal people apparently only use canvas to make bags so the people at the store thought I was crazy. They all raised their eyebrows and said, "Oh!"

Three needles later here it is.

The trickiest part of sewing it was the fact that the red parts are rubber and they DID NOT want to go through the machine. Other than that, once I got the right size needle it was a breeze.

Overall, the pattern is a little busy considering that the toilet is all of 2 feet from the curtain but I think it really adds something to the all white room. Too busy or not I would label it a success if for no other reason than I can say - "take that fabric store ladies!"
