Curtain up…

After two weeks I am physically exhausted, almost destroyed, but triumphant – like Bruce Willis in a vest at the end of Die Hard. It was touch and go, but finally I have marshaled my body weight in velvet into something that hangs up and keeps the breeze out. Here it is having a rest on it’s way to the curtain pole – lovely colour huh?

And here it is up. Terrible picture I’m afraid. It’s the awful gloom of mid January. And my shaky hands, raw from all the stitching. I didn’t even bother to move the remotes out of shot! Call the blog police.

Clearly now suffering some kind of sewing addiction, I couldn’t stop, and have just made that candy-stripy stuff on the left into a cushion cover. Here it is photographed a while ago, with the wallpaper I’m still sort of mulling over (does two years count as a mull?)
