A window remodelling

None of us is perfect.... our creative pieces should be just what they are...  creative.

Here it is Saturday.... where did this week go? I know I am not alone with this thought...The Brother Alan also feels like the days are whizzing by this month. That could be a good thing... or not. The sun is bright this morning and temps are expected to be really nice. Sorry for those in the storm path...like The Brother Alan. Hope he and Lisa did the New England storm preparedness thing...bread, milk and snacks!
Well, yesterday was the day of determination. I managed to remove the stubborn screws holding the verticals to the window frame. Someone should have taken a picture. Me up on a step ladder with a pair of plyers whacking the nut on the screw to loosen it. 14 years in place and they were not coming off easily. All the time holding onto the wall with the other hand hoping not to go through the window or fall backwards. I did not fall or miss any steps on the ladder on my way down! It is still a work in progress...not finished yet. The window... as well as me!

I left the vertical brackets--for now-- as I may use them for this project. The curtain panels have a vine like pattern on them which fits in with my plans and the fact that this window looks out to the garden. I want to light to enter but not the sun at times and the panel sides can be dropped to cover the window. This is a large window 60 inches high by 72 inches wide. Did I mention that this is the first time that I hung curtain rods? Of course I am sure you already guessed that. A phone call to Glenda to ask about the middle support piece and voilà... done.
Spent time with Dianna and Bobby last evening.... we met for dinner. Always cheerful conversation and hugs. Good to be with friends. Today is an open day...might read, might sit outside, might bead... might even get the window finished. Right now there is fluffing out in the laundry area that needs attention. and I am hungry so breakfast will be served. Happy that you stopped by to chat. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
