WHAT'S NEW

My most popular Grosgrain Ribbon Trimmed Roman Shade has taken on a new twist.
This time I crafted one for a door but instead of a Roman Shade, a Roller Clutch Shade with Grosgrain Ribbon Trim.  This is for a long door and I also did corresponding colors for the windows.

My first Ribbon Trimmed Roller Shade

White Cotton Canvas Trimmed with Buttercup Ribbon




The corresponding Roman Shades for the windows were made in Buttercup Cotton Canvas with Blackout Linings and Shade Ribs.

Road To Slipcover

To Slipcover or Not to Slipcover


Well let be known that Drapes and Roman Shades are not the only handmade fashion I custom make to order just for you.  I also make beautiful slipcovers for furniture.  In the next couple of weeks I will be rekindling the beauty of these two pieces of furniture.  Please follow me to unveil the outcome.



This  attractive lady's chair was torn open to operate on her wobbly arms.  I am still not sure if I will take on the re upholstery portion of covering her inner parts but I will be slipping her a beautiful cover.

This is also an elegant and stately lady's chair with very wide wings and dainty feet.  I will also make her sparkle again

Catching Up

It's been several days since I last wrote a post for my blog. I have been really busy with family matters concerning a very close cousin I grew up.  She recently suffered a stroke and is unable to speak and use her right arm.  My husband John, and I drove out to Michigan to see her and she is doing well.

Since we returned from the long trip, I have been even more busy trying to catch up on my orders.
Over the Easter weekend, my wonderful best friend Bev came to visit with her son Isaiah and two of my grand daughters and Naomi.

We had a birthday celebration for Isaiah who turned 11 years old.

Bev helped me give my studio a grand cleaning.  Now with all the work I have to do,  with a clean and fresh space to work in, makes creating more fun.
