Crocheted Blinds for Windows






Back in 1992, I decided to make a blind for our front door. It had four double sided panes of glass so I designed a blind to fit the door. The house we lived in then was built in 1907, neat little two story house with dormer windows, front porch complete with an oak porch swing, just outside Cincinnati, Ohio. When we moved back to North Carolina a couple years later, I took down the blind and brought it with us. (I left some crocheted curtains in the bathroom I wish now I had brought with us as well). I crocheted a Tree of Life Blind for a front window in the house we live in now and re-formatted the blind from the old house for another window.




These took me months to make and I'm fast. But, I love looking at them and let me tell you, no one else has anything close. When you put your mind to it, you can make almost anything.
