Over the weekend we caught a glimpse of spring. I bought fresh flowers and was inspired to dress up a mason jar using scrap burlap, jute, and a faux vintage skeleton key. #itching4spring

DIY Ruffle SHower Curtain

We are in the middle of a bathroom remodel, and I can not wait to show you the before and afters! For now this is the shower curtain that I made! There are 20 rows of ruffles, starting with black, 5 shades of grey, (50 was too many!) and then the top is white! It was a lot of work, but I love the result! I used a combination of fabirc and flat sheets! I am really glad I have a ruffler foot!
