I've been home for a while now, so to stave off boredom I take on little projects. If I see a piece of furniture that is cheap (hopefully free) I fix it up to either keep or sell.
.
This was my first real upholstery project I don't know what people usually use to put the buttons on, but I made do with a pencil, pliers and my biggest sewing needle. It was tough.
I broke the mirror so I turned it into a chalkboard.
In addition to furniture I embroider bookmarks. I don't know how to do very many stitches, and I make up the patterns, so I bet people who actually know how to embroider are appalled. I like them despite their amateur nature. I've made a ton of these, but I've got a lot of books so I've always got a spot for a new one.
I also made some rice bags they are just so cozy to have in the winter.
Got any furniture that needs some TLC, or a book in desperate need of a mark let me know. ;)
You are so talented. I love me a good rice bag, especially to put at the bottom of the bed as I climb in. It keeps my tosies warm.
ReplyDeleteI love your projects. I agree with Cheryl that a good rice bag or 5 in your bed at night is wonderful. Keep creating.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to do projects with you. You do beautiful work! I have a house full of furniture that needs TLC - you should come visit and we could get some things done.
