Good Morning, dear hearts..
Just a little post to show you a little project that I am working on this morning..
I so love linens and lace..
Do you?
My favourite thing to purchase at an auction is a box of linens..
I just can't wait to get home and lovingly go through each and every piece...
Sometimes, my Mom will give me a cardboard box full of doilies and such and I treasure each and every one..
She buys them at an auction or is going through her stuff and discards some tattered and torn ones..
She knows that I will find some
way to enjoy them or put them to use..
This is my newest idea..
A window treatment..
So...
I like both but I don't think there is any particular rhyme or reason to making this..
Do you?
I just pulled out a bunch of doilies and with a thread and needle started going from one to the next..
I tried using my machine but had a problem..
Whenever we go to the farm a lot of times I will take my machine because who knows what I may want to do..
I have some fabrics and old curtains there and I might get inspired. right?
Well, in the transporting I have lost a little piece of the machine that holds my thread spool in place..
Oh brother !
So.. until I can find it or buy it I am using my tread and needle..
Probably the best way anyhow..
Our back door needs a curtain and I kind of think this would be neat..
The light will still come through and just a bit different..
The second picture is a pin on Pinterest and at the bottom it said these words..
Hello... I think we have something to talk about..
I thought that was cute as I would think the same if I went to a door and saw this curtain..
Mine is not finished but as soon as I figure out a way to hang it then I will take a photo and let you see..
It won't be as nice as the ones above but I am having fun..
If you get my drift... smile..
Have a great weekend dear friends..
God bless...
very lovely.
ReplyDeleteFaye, I love your ideas...I know this will be so sweet and inviting once it is put up. I too love old lace and linens. Have a blessed weekend! Linda
ReplyDeleteWe love doilies and lacey things all over our cottage too. Your idea looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou can do so much with lovely antique lace. I love the way the sun comes in through the patterns.
ReplyDeleteFaye, that is just beautiful. It is so funny because only yesterday I made some hoops (embroidery) with old doilies. I want them to be appreciated by someone not just languishing in a drawer somewhere. I love the curtain, I may be a copy-cat. Love the pinterest saying too.
ReplyDeleteFaye you are a true romantic!! I love this!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a sweet idea Faye. It is so pretty. I have also seen them stitched together as a table runner. Have a nice weekend! XX Pam

ReplyDeleteVery pretty, it would go well with a doily table runner!

ReplyDeleteIf you have a sewing machine shop they may have the piece you need for yours.

old lace is lovely and I like older doilies as well. I bought a couple awhile back at an antique store that wasn't too expensive. One of these days they'll all be gone! Happy week, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute idea, hope you find your part soon!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea Faye. I would think the best way to make the curtain would be to sew the doilies to a piece of netting. Just a thought. Looking forward to the finished product.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful curtain! So clever and it looks fabulous. I so admire your ambition and adventurous nature! I have said it so many time......you inspire me in so many ways! I'm so thankful the Lord led me to your blog!
