The following statement may sound slightly petty... given all that us military spouses do, flex, bend, adjust to... but one of the more smaller scale frustrating aspects of being a military spouse is the continual change of curtains. Curtains that matched one room, are too short, too long for the next house, etc... 1500 miles away. I found some cheap sheer curtains ($3 for two panels) off of a "classifieds" trading group where we are currently based. I wanted something for our downstairs bathroom and didn't want to spend $60 on curtains just so that I can enjoy them for the next 14 months. I decided to use a doily to stencil Grecian looking circles on it. A similar pattern caught my eye during a recent trip to World Market. I got the idea of using a doily as a stencil from a child craft blog post where you use heart shaped doilies to stencil on shirts for Valentine's Day.
