– Knot Sew Perfect Designs – BLOG
Explanation: Knot = wood knot, crochet knot etc. Sew = I sew just enough to get by; Sow- seeds for gardening either flower or veggie.Perfect = absolutely exquisitely done but KNOT by me (sometimes). What I do sometimes I have never done before so the results are Knot Perfect!
Design = Could be most anything. A crocheted rug, a kitchen makeover, a patio, garden, a new recipe , decorating something or something basic.
GOT SHADE ?? Let's get some - more. Window dressing.
Remember my 2nd blog on making SHADE ? Check it out again just in case. Well, I had a window...so to speak and it was just "there". (Look close, it's there - straight ahead) Well, I have finally dressed it up finally.
See - I had this problem. I bought 3 panels of curtains off CraigsList for only $5.00. They were beautifully lined curtains. I even asked the guy if he brought the wrong ones. I have toyed and thought long and hard about putting holes in these to hang outside!! Mind you I do not have curtains in my house, only valances and I was thinking where could I use these beautiful curtains.
Finally today - 99 degrees on my deck even at 6pm and I decide I'm going to dress the window - phew. Hot. What was I thinking? I was thinking it was too darn HOT out there to be doing this that's what.
So I measured how long I needed them as the curtains were 84 inches long. I simply folded over the extra, pinned it and marked six spots where I was going to put a grommet. Here we go - tools - hammer - Wham - done. I had bought shower curtain hooks from the Dollar store, hooked them through the grommet and put them on the pole that was already there for the sunshade (we all put up earlier this summer - right??) I used mill end fabric about 1 1/2" wide as tiebacks. Done. Half hour. Ta Da.
Now I can let them fall open if the afternoon sun is too hot...yes, it really does shine on the deck over the trees. The reason I have the sun shade. Let's see how the NC breezes play with these.
Another question? Do I leave them up over the winter to block the neighbor and the leaves will be gone. With the right angle from their kitchen table, I can see all the way through my house when the leaves are gone!!
Some day I may have a roof but for now - this works and is certainly a LOT cheaper than a roof. With the sunshade, I take that down over the winter months to let the sun shine IN. My plants in the house love it.
