I made some felt fortune-cookie party favors for a friend's birthday party a few weeks ago...something I had tried for the first time about 9 years ago after watching a cooking show on TV. I thought it would be cool to use felt, so I sketched my idea and tucked it away into an idea file. When I debuted my felt creations at the recent party, I was greeted by "oh, Pinterest!"
Sure enough, there was a Pinterest pin for felt fortune cookies. Not mine. Mine were zebra-print.
Whatever. I'm not bitter.
Much.
If I had known the other party guests better, I would have defended my craft...but then I would have looked like the weird party goer who can't stop talking about herself and her felt cookies. I promised myself I wouldn't do that...again.
Anyway.
I realized that there is nothing new under the sun, and my versions of cute things can be quite different than other people's. So when I saw this cute photo on Pinterest, I decided to repost it.
But, I also wanted to post a photo of MY curtains that I made three LONG years ago. Before Pinterest. Not bitter, in case you were wondering.
Mine are sewn, but I admit it would have been cool if they were hand-painted. I made mine out of inexpensive white sheets and RIT dye; with lots of measuring, cutting, swearing, crying and Airplane movie breaks.
I won't even admit out loud that I'm thinking about painting my old dining-room chandelier and hanging it this room in front of these curtains. Maybe a silvery-grey color?
Still not bitter. Nope.
And don't call me Shirley.
