My birthday is in May and Mom used to say “April showers bring May flowers” to me when I was little. I loved it, and thought she made it up just for me.
This year, May will be hard, but I am focusing on why I have always loved this month and will try to get outside and enjoy those flowers and everything else springtime brings.
While visiting Indiana, my sister gave me her curtains since she switched to new ones. I thought the lovely, rosy pattern on my favorite blue would be just the splash of spring that I needed, so I turned the curtains into slipcovers for my sofa.
Maybe calling them slipcovers is too generous of a term.... they are just pillow cases, no closures, darts, or anything that takes skill. Simply rectangles sewn together on three sides with couch pillows in them.
But cheerful, right? Thanks for the curtains and inspiration, Sissy!
