Kitchen Chairs Reupholstered

These kitchen chairs have now been reupholstered. It wasn't difficult, just time consuming as I had to center each floral cluster on each seat.

Upcycled Tissue Box Journal Tags

Results of a tissue box upcycled for journal making. I used my die cutting machine to cut out several sized tags from the side of the box. The flap acts as a tuck in spot. The top with plastic window is another tuck in spot.

Valance Now Completed

The valance is now finished and up. Thanks to my 2 friends for helping put it up. This was easy to sew but I call the pattern a fabric hog as each swag took about 2 meters each.

Something from nothing - tags

"Something from nothing". After I have been stencilling, stamping (and cleaning my brushes) I do it on printer paper then adhere to a tissue box etc. After that I die cut tags with my Cuttlebug. As a final embellishment I apply stickers and words etc.

File Folder Art Pocket With Booklet Enclosed

This is a file folder art pocket that holds a long shaped notebook to journal in. It has since been gifted. I play with paper. Yep, all day! I cut it, I rip it, I emboss it, I collage it and I fussy cut it. I color it, tea stain it, coffee stain it and gelli plate print it and what I don't use I shred it. Oh did I say it then goes in the compost?

Doily Lamp Shade and Ornate Wooden Stand

I painted a creamy white on this ornate carved wooden stand that was in it's original wood state. I then placed the lamp on it which I hand stitched vintage doilies on. This lamp shade was the most challenging with the circles on the bottom so I used chiffon rosettes to cover them.
