I made social distancing curtains today.
Actually, I would have made new curtains for my office no matter what was going on in the world because my eight-month-old kittens tore down my old ones. And to be clear, my old ones consisted of a green table cloth because I didn’t want them to hurt the curtains that came with our rental.
My three cats love to look out windows but the only curtains they scratch are the ones in my office. With that in mind, I went looking for cheap replacements. I didn’t find any that fit my window so I figured I’d make my own.
Since I know Alfred, Hela, and Chewie are going to play with them, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on fabric. I also didn’t want to spend a lot of time making them since the cats were only going to be admiring them with their claws.
I was thrilled when I found fleece for $4 a yard. So what if it was pink with flamingos all over it. Flamingos are just pink dinosaurs and I love dinosaurs.
Arms with a measuring tape, scissors and a hot glue gun I had new curtains in about an hour. I’m so happy with them that I hope my cats just ignore them. They won’t, but until they pull them down, I’ll be smiling every time I see them in my office.
Pink dinosaurs are a new favorite of mine.
