When I saw the window in the bathtub this morning, I knew the word that it needed. The window was in the bathtub, because My Loving Spouse wanted to take a shower. The old window had been in the shower, as I had been trying to clean the dust, dirt and grime off of it. I needed to clean it before I could paint on it. I wasn’t sure of the right word for it until this morning.
I felt a little bit like Charlotte in Charlotte’s Web. (Co-indecently one of the reading groups that I work with at school is reading Charlotte’s Web, and if you haven’t read it, you should.) Coming up with the right word is important. I was not going to write ‘Some Pig’, which again is a Charlotte’s Web reference.
I was sure the first window I was working on was going to be ‘Joy’. However, somewhere along the way, ‘Joy’ turned into ‘Hope’. ‘Hope’ is pretty darn important and I love the final look.
These windows will be available for sale when we hold the Home Spun Holiday Boutique here with a few neighbors. The great part is I love these windows, so if nobody buys them…then I will enjoy them…not only for their rustic charm, but for their lifelong meaning.
I am having so much fun!
I love the font you chose for both windows. I also loved Charlotte’s Web when we read it in a reading group a few years ago.
Thanks My Friend!
I think I will have to dig up more windows…I am having so much fun with them!
Since I won’t be there for the Homespun Holiday boutique, how much for the Grace window?
The windows are $40 each . Thanks for asking!
Very pretty! I see you’re getting your creative side on.
SO FUN…not enough hours in the day!
