Once upon a time there was an ugly windowsill. No, no–I mean a seriously UGLY windowsill. It was so ugly that it even made the plants sad–as you can see.
People said, “sand it.” People said, “paint it.” People said, “sand it and then paint it.”
Problem is, I’m not much of a sand it or paint it girl.
Being a resourceful soul, I remembered that there isn’t much that can’t be improved with a hook and some colored string.
So I grabbed my most beautiful pink yarn….
and got cracking!
I even found some variegated yarn that completely matched the sink curtains!
Of course, there was no pattern for this crazy project. There was, however, plenty of measuring, and setting, and pulling out and starting over going on. I had to get a little creative to accommodate that fancy corner.
I used a crossed double crochet stitch–because it’s cute and bumpy and will be forgiving and dry quickly when the plant waterer spills now and then. Ha.
It worked best to do a row in the back stitch so that it would fold perfectly over the edge of the sill.
I love how it changes and brightens up the whole dang room!
Even the plants are happy!!
