Little Chair Slipcover

Happy Rednesday! This little chair cover was made from the cutest dish towel I've ever seen. It just happened to be the right size for my little sewing chair. You can see my latest project on the floor(that's where I do alot of work).I just folded over the edges and stitched and added little ties to the back to hold it on. The colors in this are so perfect for my craft room.
Also decided to spiff up my sewing machine cover with this cute embroidery from a pillow. The cat has a red nose!
We made it through the tornadoes in Dallas yesterday with hail damage and a broken wind shied to my son's car.He actually saw it from his work place. We feel really lucky! Have a wonderful day! Go check out the other reds at It's a Very Cherry World.

Chair Redo



I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! We had a quiet one, but Son is coming home next week for Christmas break and I'm really excited to see him! I've been busy doing mini redo's on the cheap-as in repainting stuff. Below is my before in my living room.
Here you can see the wicker chairs painted black. I think it really makes the room come alive. I have small touches of black in the room-black curtain rods, black frames etc. I've been wanting to do this for awhile. It only took 4 cans of spray paint and voila!
I switch out the pillows for fall and Christmas, but I think they'll look good either way.
I've also been painting some other things-I'll share those on Rednesday. Does that give you a clue? We were at Sams Club over the weekend and the greckles(I think that's what they are called) are everywhere. It's like a scene from The Birds. Look behind the tree and at the top of the building-they are lined up. They come every fall and it's kind of a weird thing.
Wanted to let you know, if you get a chance to see the movie Flipped-we rented it over the weekend, watch it! It's directed by Rob Reiner and is a sweet, nostalgic little movie that makes you feel good. At least I did! Have a Happy Monday!
