Scrap Craft
Yes, I've made another cushion cover from the remainder of the remnant of cream satin that I bought last weekend I embellished it with gathered bias strips from the remains of a pretty tab curtain that I bought from an op shop last year. The effect is very pretty and my daughter, the recipient of my endeavours, is tickled pink.
The brown toned throw that I showed you last time was well received by other loved ones and the Tuesday "family dinner" on Sunday evening was delicious, enjoyed by all and a lot of fun.
Have just returned from a 'treasure hunt' and was thrilled to find a pair of pretty cream, embroidered curtains to dress the sides of the spare room window in readiness for a visit from a dear friend from New Zealand. I also found the right number of suitable hooks to hang the curtains, which I shall do after a quick rinse in the bath.
It pays to keep your eyes open for blessings.

We love our thRow! We've had quite a few comments on it actually! I love having special things in the house that you can't find in stores. Makes it feel more family and less generic. :D
