Morning everyone
A chilly start but it will be a glorious day.
The Wax eyes are here early today. They are flittering around in the trees on our border. I think the long grass may have put alot of birds off.
It is soo good to look out the ranch slider and not see grass higher than my knees.
Oddly Im more creaky, well plain sore this morning than I have been after the other days of weed eating. Must have slept in one position too long I think. so the hottie is on my back.
Very pretty curtains OHH.. There are no curtains here, well werent. I had a lot of black fabric and very quickly made two curtains for the ranch slider.. There are those horrible vertical blinds. But I think theres only 3 windows that have a full set that actually turn properly too. And the lounge ones dont.
In a couple of previous places we lived in I did some for french doors in blues and yellow and then the next house were ranch sliders so I used a perfectly matching sheet to put strips down each side to widen them.
Off to see MrP this morning and get some groceries. Not that I need much thankfully. I spoilt myself and popped up and got a roast beef sammie for my tea last night. It was Beautiful.
I might sit and "Paint" today and try out my new pen, its bigger and should be alot easier to hold. So should be good for my fingers.
Have a fab Day everyone

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.Calico is one of my Fave fabrics OHH... Maybe its something from a previous life. But its just so nice to work with.. A b*tch wo wash and iron tho lol
I do love these curtains though, so pretty...
