Monday I got up to 45, by that night it got down to 9, with a windchill of 3. We have finally started creeping back up and are in the low 40's today with rain.<br />I LOVE your shower curtain! Question for you....did you seal that wood on the bathroom walls? I would love to do something like that but there is next to no ventilation in my bathroom. A fan, but that's it.<br /><br />http://caffeinatedhomestead.weebly.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-30355873755929327062015-01-10T17:01:27.957-06:002015-01-10T17:01:27.957-06:00Nancy po - I kind of work my Valentine's decor...Nancy po - I kind of work my Valentine's decorations right into my winter ones.

If you wish, you could probably get enough information from a tutorial I did a while back. Go over to my right hand side bar and scroll way down to my Search box and type in Crocheted Rag Rug Tutorial. The four blogs I did (Part 1 - thru Part 4) should pop up for you. I think what I will do though, when I start a new rug (always a new one in my head waiting to be done!), I will do a tutorial on doing the rectangular one with the rug yarn.

I think the shower curtain looks better hanging with the "waves" in it than it just looks "as is", which I suppose is good since you actually are using it as a shower curtain. If I went through all that trouble to make something like that I would have it encased in glass and hung on the wall and NOBODY would be able to touch it.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-67040595626357032672015-01-09T16:25:37.376-06:002015-01-09T16:25:37.376-06:00Your bathroom looks so cosy.Your shower curtain fi...Your bathroom looks so cosy.Your shower curtain fits in perfectly.
