Our Rose Suite Freshly Painted

 Our Rose Suite also got freshly painted by painters Stanley Jessup and Randy Slaughter...

They also did the exterior painting, see link below post.

On Thursday, January 13, I'd finished cleaning the Rose Suite living room and placed a Wedgwood bowl  with white Camellias on the coffee table...

This was on November 9, 2021...

A mix of Nuccio's gem and White by the Gate Camellias

Handcrocheted DMC doily with roses was a gift of my best friend Ellie.

They are perfectly arranged in this Wedgwood vase bowl Cream Color on Cream Color.

Other side of the living room with Pieter's electrical organ.

A Thomas Cabinet organ in walnut.

We found this end of 2017, when Pieter's heart condition was critical...

He still loves to play once in a while.

The painters Stanley and Randy had the bed covered... the rest got moved out.

Awaiting guests...

Pieter playing Get Into the Dream Boat of Love by Heinz Dietz and Kurz Felz 1955

 Pieter actually played this very song one day in April of 1980 during lunch time and via the phone...

Get Into the Dream Boat of Love by Heinz Dietz and Kurz Felz 1955

Or in German: Steig in das Traumboot der Liebe 

As mentioned before, Pieter never had a single lesson in organ or piano playing...This song has a very special meaning and it was right at the start of a blissful relationship.
Happy Saint Valentine's Day!

More PEACOCK CURTAINS Designed and Hung

 It has been already quite some time since I did design these Peacock Hand Crocheted Curtains...

Here I'm sewing on the Brass Lift Rings (found in Roman Shade Artisans).

Sitting in our Veranda Fleur de Lys chair...

This is what I was doing above...

From this 1957 Lily Mills Peacock Buffet Scarf I designed the curtains to be hand crocheted by a lovely Dutch lady, Mia Keizers.

She only used the mercerized DMC threads. 

It was only the peacock that I would be using...

Left underside of peacock with instructions in Dutch for Mia

Remainder of the left peacock till center (midden in Dutch)

Remainder of the left peacock's head till center

Bottom right of right peacock with instructions for working it out into correct size.

The right sided peacock part

Right sided peacock's head...

Yes, it DID fit and I have hung them 'dry'.

They would have stretched to perfection when laundered and hung wet!

Shown are the brass nails that I did sew on and Pieter who hung them for a dear friend, used also brass nails.

Crochet set–up side is tighter and looked perfect.

Pieter working on the brass nails for this long wall with four sections...

Next will be the long wall with one–piece crocheted curtain worked over the 12 cm wide wood supports.

Side sections of four crocheted panels completed.

Long window also done...

Mia worked with a nice pattern on top of the 12 cm wood sections in–between the peacock patterns.

And once more for the side windows four separate peacock crocheted panels.

Wow, I felt so relieved when we had them hanging and it looked good!

That sure was a mega task completed by Mia Keizers.

And luckily, the shipping of such a heavy and bulky parcel was still affordable...
