How tweet!

 I found an old mini blind at a yard sale to fit my kitchen window.  The window faces west and gets blaring heat from the western sun in the afternoons. So I decided to make my own Roman shade using the mini blind. And look how cute it turned out! 

The light quality is poor in the photo 

 But it didn't matter if I had the flag on or not, or the kitchen lights on or not.  I think what I will do differ the next time I make one is to use a white fabric to line the back. That way the colors will pop better and you will not see the slats so much. But overall, not bad for the first try. I'm pleased with it. 

My touch

 I saw this at a thrift store and, well, it kept screaming "Take me home!"

It was kind of plain Jane but I had an idea.

Now...that's more like me. 

And it looks even better in situ. But will have to load it later because it won't load.
