While in Ireland my SIL, Niamh, gave me some pretty Cath Kidston fabric. We've had a terribly cold draft in the kitchen which has made the entire downstairs at Casapinka rather like Lapland! Hmmmm...the simplest fixes are often the best. Cue the very Irish "Draught Excluder." I stuffed it with popcorn kernels and voila, no more draught! I photographed it on the window sill in the Knitting room and luckily I made two because Juniorette snapped one up for her windowsill which doesn't have a draught at all.
I think all the windowsills in Casapinka will become hypochondriacs just so they can have one of these. It's funny how a couple of button eyes and an embroidered mouth can make some fabric into a pet. Very simple and speedy and our kitchen is now toasty despite not having my coveted Aga!
Perfectly charming; the Cath Kidston product designers will mutter enviously among themselves.
