When she was little she announced that when she was grown up she would buy a house next door to me and I could make the curtains. How kind!
Well. She did not buy a house next door but lives a good 30 minute drive away. She did however expect me to honour the curtain making request. Thankfully all her windows are small ones and I hope they are now all covered.
In the last few months they have had a new kitchen installed and these are curtains in the Dining Room end of the kitchen. Sarah made the window seat cushion herself. The cushions are bought ones. Think it looks lovely. The blue in the cushions reflects the colour of the Rayburn oven.
This is the kitchen during its transformation and my son in law standing against the Rayburn which is around 50 years old.
This time last year we were preparing for their wedding. How time flies.
Happy Stitching.
