Curtain!
Today we picked up our overdue curtains from a place in Tlaquepaque called Mona's, who sewed them together from our custom specifications and a fabric we selected.
They have "blackout" on the back so that the sun won't shine through, and pinch-pleats at the top.

The work on them is incredible. They stuck the hooks in them at the place, but I think we're going to have to repin the hooks because they don't quite go up to the ceiling, instead revealing our tacky curtain rod. The curtain rod needs some work too. At present, the only way we can get the curtain to move all the way open is to have one person pull the cord and another pull the curtain back by hand. That is, it sticks a lot in certain spots.

Now I can walk around in my underwear without getting cat calls. Yes, cat calls. That has been an all-too-frequent occurence.

Larry and Joseph came over to help us with the curtains and let me know that the knot in the cord should definitely not be inside the track, so now they work really well.

I love the fabric, especially the "random" blue leaves. Reminds me of something I would see in a 1950's cocktail dress, right down to the pleats.
