To sew, or not to sew

I just got my kitchen fabric delivered this morning. Yes, I am one of those that ordered fabric online...I know, living on the edge right? There is a HUGE fabric store near Charlotte that I like too (Mary Jo's for the seriously interested) but with a baby who still naps every 2-2.5 hours it is difficult to make it there during the week. So online ordering it is!

Anyway, I already knew that I loved Amy Butler fabric and was dying to have an excuse to buy this pattern that I have fallen in love with since I was fabric shopping for the nursery curtains last fall. So I ripped open the package today eager to see my fabric and was a little taken back by how lime colored it was. I had to leave it in the kitchen, walk away and walk back in several times to get used to the idea. I toyed with sending it back (love Fabric.com's return policy!) but I decided I am going to keep it! What do you all think?

So I am going to attempt to make some Roman Shades out of it. The only thing is that we have old windows and nothing can be nailed/screwed into the inside window frame itself (BOO!!!) so I am afraid the roman shade might look a little funny on the outside of the actual window...so stay tuned. If I do the roman shade I think I found a tutorial online that I won't have to use a sewing machine for (double yay!).
Stay tuned...
