two most FAQs
The two things I’m asked the most about are my blue & white curtains and my cow painting (Eulalie.) First, the curtains. I made them a couple of years ago out of Sun-n-Shade fabric by Waverly called Tucker Resist Chambray with $5 white twin sheets as lining. Confession – I’ve never hemmed them and I’m […]
