havanaholly Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I was wondering if a needle point pattern would work? Anyone ever done this?What a terrific idea! It works for crossstitch, so why not? Hmmm. Hey, Linda! come back and share some more of your bead curtains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica_the_haunted Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hey, are you guys all over here peeking into my Hippie House!? Jeez, and I have'nt even posted pics yet! I'm making a couple of beaded curtains for the Arthur as well, but I don't quite know how to make the patterns yet. I think I'll just stick to the rainbow curtains. Those I know how to do. Happy Hippie Housing everyone! Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The hippy generation wasn't just about things. It was also about trying to do things different from our parents. It was a time where we let those in authority (parents, teachers, government, police) know that we wanted change. I was glad that I was a teenager in high school during this generation as opposed to the present one. It really was more about love and peace than hate. Yes, there were the drugs, but just mellowing out and tripping .... not escaping like today. We didn't bring guns and knives to school. Sure, we'd smoke hash and pot, but we'd also share. I remember going to the rock concerts and the joints were just passed down the rows to be shared. That's why we'd all have our own roach clips so that nothing was wasted. It was also about the music: Hendrix, Joplin, Doors, Iron Butterfly It was about the smells: incense, the strange hand-rolled cigarettes, tea steeping, love oils, candles, Baby Duck and Lonesome Charlie bubbly wines. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 So how did the needlepoint charts work for curtain beading? Now I'm starting to think again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Avacado Green rugs throughout the house and a bright pink green and orange kitchen. My first house with Husband #1. Yep, we had beaded curtains in the foyer to the living room, and in both bathroom windows. Very pretty! Had bell bottoms too, and loved them! Was much thinner then and much much younger too of course! LOL Was working for Walt Disney Productions during those years in the Printing Department! Wonderful years! But I was not a flower child by any means, nor was hubby. We were "straight shooters" then....how boring! We could have been having fun!
