tuesday - things are coming together ..

Sister is doing better .. she is home .. BIL and i drove to lufkin and got her a lift chair - so now she can get up and down on her own - though she is still having a little trouble adjusting with her broken arm - but things seem back on track..

after spending the morning being with her while BIL ran errands - i joined rod and sherry at the warehouse -

we are getting excited about canton coming up - here are some projects i worked on this afternoon -

this 1960s era vinyl covered footstool/ottoman started life with brown stained legs - i had rod spray the legs and since it didn't matter if the vinyl got paint on them - i just cut up and around the legs and then recovered the footstool and made a slipcover with some vintage 1960s era linen screen print fabric i had - below is the finished stool ..

love the colors in this vintage 1960s linen screen print -

this cute little chair will get the full treatment - i am recovering it in an off white duck - painting the legs a soft sagey green and making it a shorty slipcover - so the legs show - with a wonderful big floral vintage faux quilted fabric that has a sagey green background - the slipcover will be finished off with bullion fringe of the same green as the legs - gonna be cool -

i love this afghan - love the granny squares - and i have something so cute in mind for this - wait and see - i will show ya a day or so before canton -

this cute little metal playhouse/dollhouse will be going just like it is - i just found it this week at the little church thrift store i frequent -

lots of vintage inspired valentine ideas - these are all hand cut - you will love what i do with these - so cute and a cool idea ..

these are butterfly and seashell cut outs - hand cut - by me - same idea as with the hearts - it excites me when i think about how they will look in the booth - you gotta come see us -

so many ideas - so little time -

remember - ARBOR II, spaces 203 & 204A

laters,
