Last weeks creative moment came about as a result of going to the Country Living Spring Fair. My bedroom window had a white Venetian blind against a white wall – it looked rather clinical. I added a white curtain pole and made white muslin curtains with tabs along the back to hide the pole. This softened the look but still lacked interest. To add a splash of colour, I sewed multi-coloured, wooden flower buttons across the top and a string of hanging Indian elephants down each side.
Whilst at the country living fair, I spotted rather gorgeous coloured felt pompom necklaces and immediately imagined them as my ‘tie-backs’. Easily attached to the side and scooping back the muslin curtains gently, I think this finishes the look!
Of course, if I’m in the mood I can always sneak one to brighten up an outfit for the day, after all, it is a necklace!
