Still Stitching

I am still stitching. Stitch after stitch after tiny weeny stitch. I've been working on the curtains in odd moments in between other things, a little bit of stitching in bed with my morning cuppa, a little bit at the table before breakfast, a little bit out in the back yard when the sun was shining. It's been slow, slow, slow, but somehow rather nice to sit and work so patiently and methodically. I will be glad when it's done though.

On Saturday I popped down to Connievan to hang up the four small curtains that I'd finished (there are 6 small ones and 4 big ones altogether), and I have to say they look rather fabulous.

When the stitching marathon is finally over (I'm currently on curtain number 8/10), my next job will be to see to the mucky velvet pelmets that sit above my gorgeous new curtains. I'm thinking maybe some fabric bunting will look good, to match with the cushions. Brightly coloured patterned triangles hanging from gingham ribbon.....mmmmmmmmm!

We are off this afternoon, taking Connievan up country for a few days to the west coast of Lancashire. I can't wait to see the sea! Will be back next week to tell you all about it.

Have a wonderful break in Connie....whilst I completely understand your hate of the original covers and curtains a caravan company once sold one of ours and I had lined the original curtains to keep out light....they took all that off so the original fabric could be seen from outside!! Imagine....like you I had hand sewn on the linings!

Ooh it looks fab ... wish I cold get my hands on a caravan to titivate! Love Claire xxx

[GlitteryKatie]

The curtains are looking so pretty- you're really 'Luciying' the caravan nicely!! ;)

[VintageVicki]

Have a great trip :)

The curtains looks great - sort of dreading doing mine though - probably an over the winter task!

[Sarah]

It looks so spic and span in your caravan, Lucy, and the curtains look really pretty. I love the pictures you've put up - very folksy!
I did our caravan up a few years ago, but we don't have it at home, so I was in a bikini with a black plastic bin bag on the top as a cover all, on the campsite, painting all the horrible chocolate brown cupboards a lovely summer sky blue,(and getting funny looks from everyone else on the site!)Also had to strip off the really nasty beige fake tile wallpaper! I took my machine with me and ran up the blue gingham curtains down there too! Mine don't have the lovely floral strip or ricrac at the bottom, though. Mm, might be taking the machine with us again next time!
Have a lovely weekend. Hope the weather's good for you.

Your colourful curtains and vivid cushions are just gorgeous Lucy! Your bright colours are so cheerful and inspiring, and I love the way you bring your very own rainbow homespun style to everything you create. Connievan is going to look amazing!
