As any crafter can tell you embellishing often ends up where it's needed not only where it looks good. My hubby was wonderful enough to take the rotten old hinges off the window, sand it to fit snugly and then buy me some new hinges. But when I was attaching them on the left I didn't realise the new screws were longer than the old ones and they went right through the window AND the picture in the frame!!! Grr - never mind - a little bit of embellishment fixed up the unsightly mess but has made the windows have to stay permanently open! But I hate to say this - I prefer it this way - LOL.
It was fun project to do - it's always nice to try something different! Now to hunt out my next bargain at the Op Shop - LOL.
