You can never have enough...

I am thinking about cleaning the inside of the windows today. The insides are letting the outsides down after my all my earlier efforts, so maybe the Karcher and the step ladder will get pulled out again. And then there is that bit of hand sewing I need to do to finish off the edges of the curtains that I put up just before covid hit. I cheated and just replaced the outer layer of the secondhand professionally made lot I scored for next to nothing when I moved in here ten years ago. The original thick cream cord was looking a little old so I found a gorgeous Jacobean style patterned heavy weight to replace it with and had a friend extend it for me with some stiff cream calico, and I just whip stitched it to the original linings - to keep the flannel and outer plain calico intact. They are wonderful insulators, but I do wish placing the curtain tracks closer to the ceiling had been in vogue ten years ago, the way they sit on the window frame still irritates me. Too bad, I am not up to changing that these days.

I do love these curtains though, so pretty...
