For Spring

A couple more things for The Hog Shed I made these pillows using recycled wool blankets for the flowers and some super soft burlap looking fabric that I found.

Perfect for spring (if it ever gets here)



Having fun with these.

Have a great weekend.

Hope to see you at the next sale

While Waiting

This week while I wait for my Sewing machine's to be serviced I get to play on this old beauty that my sister in law picked up for me at a garage sale a couple of years ago I took it in to my local sewing machine repair guys to have them go threw it and get it running good as new they were even able to order a manual for it so that I would know how to use and thread it properly. I have to say I love the way this old thing runs, it's supper solid!! and although I don't think I would want to put together an entire slipcover with it I'm having fun
Putting together these fun little make up/summer totes
A perfect project while I wait.
Looking forward to getting some more projects done for The Hog Shed's next sale

Something for Spring!

Just in the nick of time, I finally get to working on the Spring Chair
that I had committed to making for The Hog Shed


Of course the the last project that I finish up with was the biggest one! but none the less it did get finished. Another sweet little swivel rocker. I found this beautiful pink floral fabric this winter and knew I wanted to do something with it. I just hope that someone else sees the beauty in it.
Now, on the another totally unrelated subject, I finally got my Laptop for for the shop and I am in the proses of trying to get familiar with it along with loading my favorite programs. Some are working and some are not! I am not computer literate I only know enough to do what I need to do so this, I fear will take longer than I anticipated My Photo editing program is not liking the new Computer another thing to figure out.

Slipcovering Again

Well here we go again with the start of a new year at The Hog Shed. Loving this chair. I want to keep it for my room! I found the fabric at Wally World. In its intended form as a King sized bed spread on clearance last fall. Well I knew the moment I saw it that it was not going on any bed, it was destine to be a slipcover !
I was really drawn to it because of the texture (which I had a hard time photographing) I love fabrics with texture. The only problem was that the weave of the fabric was a bit loose so I had to line the whole thing kind of a pain in the ........


Back side!

Slipcovering Again






What a fun project. This one is out the door tomorrow on its way to The Hog Shed.


A Sweet slip covered Chair for a little girls room complete with a pocket on the side arm for a favorite book!! I added detail in the back with a lace up closure and I'm really happy with the way the whole thing turned out. I wish I knew how to do all of this when my girls were little !!!! De
