Curtains for WOYWW!

Don't panic dear friends - it's not the end of WOYWW !!
It's just the little curtains that I ran up for M's little Velux window. She thought a real Velux blind was boring and couldn't afford one anyway, so we came up with this, as an alternative.
Its made from a bargain single duvet with a slot for the telescopic rail at the top and a hem at the bottom. The second rail just holds it in place. Not a screw driver in sight!! Easy peasy.




M then found some of Wipso's gorgeous crochet flowers (here) and we added some of my fab antique lace and a button - glued the whole creation onto a clothes peg and "voila" - a perfect little clip to hold the curtain in place when its drawn back. She was so thrilled, she called her neighbour round to look. Strangely enough, she also had just the right length of fabric to match her blinds, so a second one was made.

I left two, happy and cosy young ladies when I ventured back on the icy roads to the hills!!


And on my desk today.......

A felted jumper ready to re-cycle. (I think a cosy hot water bottle cover and maybe some fab little Christmas tree hearts and some little mittens) . Hehe - one jumper goes a long way!!
And a heap of fabric for a bed throw. Just a few jobs to keep me busy in this freezing cold weather.
And a lovely little lavender bag made by my blog friend CalicoKate in Scotland.

Well that's it for today - I do hope you are all managing to keep cosy and safe in this atrocious weather. Take care!

Right then, you wonderful WOYWWers - I am nipping over to a few of the 150 posts that you kindly put up every Wednesday. I never manage to see all of them but I do enjoy popping in to as many as I can. If you want to join in this mad blog hop, then go to the WOYW Julia, chief organiser's blog and follow Mr Linky.
