Late night blogging!

This has been a long day!  I'm doing an extra caring job this week which had me up and working at 6am!   Not natural for me to be awake that early, let alone, talking and functioning.  However, I managed and was home with a whole day to myself by 8.30am

I imagined that I'd quickly put up the Christmas decorations, then spend the rest of the day making up those dining room curtains.   It didn't quite work out that way.........doesn't it take a long time to put those decorations up?   Probably best that my spinal surgeon doesn't know that I went in the loft to get them (I'll expect some nagging from some readers too!).  I have to say I was pleased with my efforts this year.

This was a new display for this year and it does look very pretty.  Yes, I painted the furniture.  Another little crafty line of mine.

It also took ages to measure  and cut the curtain fabric, lining and interlining.  Here it is with the bare window in the background.......

Then there was the matter of matching the pattern (always easier said than done)

I still have the same size pile of fabric, but it's all cut into the relevant lengths for curtains, pelmet and cushions now.   Hours of sewing to do now!

Well, not exactly now, as I've been up 17 hours already!
