WINTERY WINDS & A CHILLY CHAIR..

Yes folks.. it is a two post day.. for SHE had the very brightest of bright ideas half an hour ago.. and so here I am to share it with YOU!

OUR bathroom, when the days become cold, is not the warmest of rooms and certainly, the 'seat' that is not a chair is a chilly place to 'sit' as it is right by the window!

SHE does the trick of putting two layers of bubble wrap against windows to act as double glazing and had just pinned them into position, when out of nowhere came the brightest of bright ideas..

There is a bamboo pinoleum blind that hangs in front of the bathroom window, how about lining it with a large bath towel' was the idea, it would be so easy to do, all SHE would have to do was stitch the towel to the inside of the blind.

Out of the linen cupboard came a thick bath towel, exactly the length that was required and only a little bit too wide, which would be no problem as it would be folded over. 

Opening HER grandmother's sewing chest, SHE took out the necessary thread, needle and a small pair of scissors, no, SHE no longer snips cotton with HER teeth..

A row of overstitching and hey presto.. one very smartly lined pinoleum blind!

It was hung back on its hooks.. and SHE smiled.. for instantly.. oh, what bliss.. the smallest room will no longer be the coldest room on these chilly, frosty winter nights..

GeeGee Parrot.
