Sunday Stuff


Take one set of grim looking net curtains that are dirty, and with holes in them...and completely take them down. Sadly can't ditch them (I will have to put them back up when I leave the property..) 

Then muck about with the idea of having a cafe style net thing going on instead, spend far to long staring at net curtain get more than you actually need and then muck about most of the morning trying to decide whether or not you actually made a wise decision.



I'll be honest I am still unsure, and I am now thinking that a natural coloured muslin may have been nicer but for the time being I will stick with my original choice. Ah well it doesn't actually look to bad, I did have it all gathered up but it looked hideous. So it stays up. Now I work on my original idea and the reason for thinking a cafe curtain would be nice was to make it a bit more jazzy...



By adding buttons in colours that match the tie backs and  done in a tasteful way I was thinking about adding the odd crystal highlight..too much? The buttons I like, and I think I will actually carry on with that idea and add them, the crystals not so sure.

Now I am going to pause here cause I've been pottering about all morning I am about ready to chew my hand off. This after I am going to prep my project for the afternoon, add the buttons the net curtain and make some coasters. Go me!

Pictures and a further post to follow.
