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.

More Easter

Here are the rest of my Easter decor pic's. The giant vintage Mrs. Chick came from a garage sale years ago from a teacher. I got a bunch of bulletin board stuff.The little felt chick baby shoes are from Old Navy via the thrift store.
I love the pink Happy Easter Daddy card. It's one of my faves.
I'm a little late to the Easter party, but at least I made it this year.
Love your comments and I love checking out you guys in Blogland. So many creative people out there. Have a wonderful weekend!

Easter Parade

I finally got out the Easter stuff. I didn't get to decorate last year, cuz of the move. These bunnies and egg were made by my Aunt Ruth. If you've followed this blog-you know she loved to put long eyelashes on any animal she painted. Check out the lashes! I love how the bunnies go with the thrifted tablecloth.
I did a mini end- tablescape using orange, yellow and pink. I have more fun going into my vintage linen stash and pulling out stuff to use. The felt Mrs. Bunny and Mr. Mouse were bought at a shop in Arkansas, I could not pass them up!
I still need to find one more fire king cup and saucer that has a different pattern. Love the way they stack-the colors are so springy.

Had to show you my pillows from a few years ago. I love working in 1 color-no thinking.
I have more to share-I'll add them hopefully by the end of the week. At least I made it before Easter! Have a good week.

Butterflies are Free(almost)

I am joining the chip art party. I've seen so many cute things out there and was inspired by Cozy, Cottage, Cute. I had all the green paint chips from when I was choosing a color for my bedroom and bathroom.I had the MS butterfly punch and went to town. It's really fun to do this. I added 2 scrapbook paper butterflies, just to add interest. The only thing I bought was a frame at Michaels(40% off) of course.
I drew out a grid to fit the frame and used pop dots to add a little depth and stuck em on.
Easy Peasy , inexpensive and really fun to do. Now I just have to hang it up.

The weather here in Texas has finally cleared up and it look like it's going to be a beautiful weekend. We have been trying to add some bushes and flowers in the new yard. Looks like we'll be digging some holes. Hope your weekend turns out pretty!

Red Roman Shade

Today for Rednesday,I'm showing you the before of my kitchen door. This was here when we moved in. I didn't like not being able to see out the door. In fact it was driving me crazy. I decided to make a roman shade.I went to You Tube and found some really great directions. I used fabric that I had. Here it is on the floor waiting for the glue to dry on the little dowel rods. I have it weighted down with ME Home Companions. After turning inside out and stringing it, here it is.
I'm sorry about the dark pic-it's so hard to take towards a window. I'm really happy with it. It is complete privacy when it's down-and best of all I can now see out the door!! Here's another view of my new little breakfast nook. Added the red window toppers and the new light over the table.You can barely see the window seat behind the table. It's coming along.
Hope you all have a great Rednesday! Go here to see more.

A Little Green

Happy St. Patricks Day! I'll be making corned beef and cabbage on Saturday. What about you?This is my little shelf that's now in my Master Bedroom. I've painted the walls a light green, We are still working on the room-so I won't show it yet. Also painted the master bath a slightly lighter green.
This was my mom's. It goes perfect with our bedroom colors. Do you think it's weird to have a piece like this in a bedroom? I think it works just fine.
Here's my little vignette. It's really hard to see the paint color. I'll show some better pic's later. Anyway-hope you all have a Happy St. Pat's Day!
