Hi everyone .... just wanted to show you what I've been up to ..... sewing and ironing and hanging curtains !
I just did NOT want to buy 'normal store' curtains . I wanted to make my own .
so
for a long time I've been looking at seaangels blog ..... I've been inspired !
I went through my stash of old linens and doilies .
This suits my house ... since my whole house is sort of strange [ different ]. It's all tag sale finds [repainted furniture, creepy doll heads , colored glass and of course ....JERRY ]
I still have so much to do ... I have to paint walls , paint the windows , do more fussing and rearranging .
but this is how it looks now . These photos aren't great , but you get the idea .
I bought the stained glass window a few years ago for $45.00 . It's suspended from hooks .
When I bought it , I had no place for it ....... until .... my new WINDOW !!!!
visit seaangels blog
and posy too !
there's so many great blogs , but these are just two [ of the many ] that I like very much.
one last thing > I'm so into tension rods .... I love that I can raise and lower them according to the sun , or for privacy ...or... for ...... MY CATS .
Have a good night !

Love the curtains and I'm your BIGGEST fan ever in your art and creativity.. but honestly.. you and me.. food, laugh and ear...
What a great idea! Thank you for sharing. They look wonderful and I love them. I am going to start keeping my eye open for some of those lovely doilies.
Wow!!!!! I love, love, love these!!!
Your window treatments are beautiful. :)
oh, you clever thing you!!! i LOVE them completely!
Beautiful. If snowflakes could hang around a while and get old, this is how they would look. Have you heard of Dottie Angel? http://www.flickr.com/photos/dottieangel/page9/
She also likes her lace and linen and scrappy bits to create with. Have fun, Sandy!
I love these Sandy! They are so beautiful!
do you starch your doilies before attaching them??? so pretty!
Exquisite! I LOVE them. Very inspiring. Guess I'll be hitting the second hand store - I'm on the hunt!
Oh, Sandy. I am so totally pinning these curtains up on Pinterest. You might want to check out Hutch Studios window coverings as well. They do some fantastic quirky cut paper coverings. I wish I was as brave as you to try something really different. How'd you DO those?
What a clever idea! Very pretty.
I thought of you when I saw this doily light.
