Scotty's New Re-Do!!!!!

I was so board with my old curtains in my Scotty, that I decided I needed a 're-do'... so I took out my touristy~tropical themed curtains and dug through my stash of fabric & this is what I came up with.....
I had bought the 'Galaxy Diner' fabric about 4 years ago, when I was living in SO. CAL., I had bought 2 yards,,,,just in case....a bad habit of mine...I buy fabric because I like it and think I might be able to put it to use someday...well that someday was today.....
The lining/backing is actually a sheet that I had bought at a local Thrift.

I crochet rag rugs from old sheets, so when I come across a sheet I buy it knowing it will make a great rug, backing for a quilt or some other project, in this case, as curtain backing. I paid $1.99 for the sheet, and still have oodles of fabric left....not a bad deal!

Now all I need to do is make 22 YoYos in a soft yellow fabric to attach on top of the curtain tabs.

You would think with all my fabric stash,,,I would have some yellow fabric...nope! not a scrap,,, I can't believe I am going to have to go buy a yard of yellow fabric! lol!

I can hardly wait for May, when my lil Scotty w/a potty comes out of the ManCave and goes on her 1st camping trip of the season.... Come on May!

Almost Time....

Thank goodness, it is almost that time...to pull our vintage trailers out of storage, dust them off, fluff them up, add a few new deco-trinkets and hit the road.... Happy Trails! My first Glamping trip of the year will be to Prosser Washington for the 'Prosser Farm Girl' gather-up....and then just 3 weeks later, back to the Spokane River to camp with 24 other 'Sisters on the Fly' gal pals and shop till we drop at the 'Farm Chicks' show at the Spokane Fairgrounds. Wagons HO & Happy Trails to you until we meet again....
