She ordered the pattern, got the list of materials, and then life pushed those plans to the side.

She went to the fabric store, found all the hardware, and discovered that buying fabric and hardware was as expensive as buying pre-made shades. Have I mentioned that we have a baby due in a week? Joy elected to take advantage of Memorial Day sales and went to Linens and Things and Target and found shades and a rod and even got an extra % off because she didn't have a coupon and the saleslady took pity on her.
