Computer Crash

Yup, our computer has decided to take a permanent vacation! so until we get time to run down and get a new one I will not be able to do any pictures with my posts. (using Hubbys laptop now) I will get The Chair pics up asap.
Have a great rest of the week

A Chair for Spring

This is one of the projects that I will be working on for the Hog Sheds March sale I found this fabric at my local Jo Ann's Fabrics and thought it would be perfect This is the chair that I will be slipcovering I hope you come back to see how it turns out.

Oh and these are the little guys that inspired the whole project. Claire will have these little cutties for sale too but hurry they always go Quickly!!

Thanks for stopping ~ See you next week

Workings.

Some things finished in the shop this week.
First is this rocker that was given to me. (of course I did not take any before pictures) it was a "lovely" wood with gold detailing and flecks on it. I was contemplating just tossing it because it's sometimes hard to sell rockers. I just couldn't throw it away it was supper solid and absolutely nothing wrong with it other than being ugly. sooo I had my girlfriend Susan paint and distress it for me (beautiful job Susan, Thank you) and I made a super soft Deep cushion for the seat along with a pillow that is filled with super soft down like filling along with fragrant lavender buds Perfect for a soothing and relaxing rock. This rocker will be available at the Buffalo Nickle in March.

Second: the chair that Needed a little redo on the store bought slipcover is re-Created into a full length slipcover

with button detailing on the back instead of the tie that was a bit big and sloppy looking.

Simple and clean... that was the clients requirements

I like.

Thanks for letting me share

Stop back tomorrow to see what I'll be working on next week.

Getting things done...

A couple of projects of late . Window seat cushions and pillows for a client in a beautiful neutral pallet that I'm lovin and some lovely blues too. Yes I think I've finally found someone that changes her decor more than me!!!

along with some target dinning room chair slipcovers that need to be reworked to fit a set of chairs

Stop back and see what happens to this slipcover

Happy Tuesday

I'll be back next week with updates from the shop.. I promise, I really have been working!

Seperation of Home and Business

Well I've decided to separate my home blog from my business blog seeing that I was doing lots of postings that had nothing to do with slipcovers .... Which is why I started this blog in the first place! I will be posting only my Business related stuff on this blog but if you are at all interested in what I do with the rest of my time stop on by my new blog Home from my heart home from my hands And yes there will still be plenty of slipcovers on my new blog as my home is fiilled with them and I love sharing them with you.

Thanks so much for stopping

Whitey Tighty

Yes Whitey Tighty Slip covers again! I made new slip covers for my couch and chairs as I was not as happy with the others that I had made for fall. I'm very happy with the new ones and am lovin the Green that I picked out for my accent color. The Slip cover fabric was purchased before Christmas at Joann's Fabrics ( with coupon ) ! I decided to use a sport weight denim instead of a duck or canvas because I wanted a light wight fabric for the ruffles on the chairs. Its still plenty heavy enough and perfectly soft one I washed them up a couple of times

and I brought the pillows back. I may cover the cushions for the back of the couch later but for now I'm lovin my pillows

This is my new favorite fabric. I purchased only half a yard (at Joanns, with coupon ) so for 2.00 a new pillow is born. I recycled an old feather pillow by re-ticking it and adding dried lavender buds to it Its smells sooooo good.

ruffles on my skirts and polka dots on my pillows!

I've gone a little green

Oh yeah and my cute little lamp with shade I found at Target for 15.00! Perfect for this little reading corner

Have a great weekend

Art in my Home

Art is a very big part of my home decor. Why? well because I love what does for us as people, the very act of creating is just an awesome feeling. Art is also what makes my home a very personal space because most of the art you will find in my home is from my own family's hands. This trio is just a collection that I acquired at garage and occasional sales. I have them because I love the green's in them.

The next two pictures are ones that my Mom painted. This first one is of her grandmother and grandfather that she painted from an old black and white photo that she was given by her sister

This is me. It was my Christmas gift last year. My Mother surprised all of us Kids (5) with portraits. Mom just started painting a year and a half ago. Wow

This is a set of pottery that my first daughter Amber did in high school I love the colors.

This is a picture that my son Shayne did while he was in high school he did it using only tiny little dots. I think its soooo cool

This is a picture that my husband did while he was in high school.

Side by side father and son art. love that One of the greatest things that I have done with some of their art is to have a couple of my favorite pieces professionally framed, a little expensive but I will never regret it~

This next piece was a gift from my brother in law last Christmas. Its is a Very big mosaic that he did. I just received it however, as it was traveling the country in an art contest for the VA where it took 1st place!! what a treasure.

This is one of many wood burnings that that my Father in law has gifted us this is one of his first. a woodland scene

Perfect over the Tv.

This is one of the other wood burnings that was given to us this is a portrait that he did of a Doctor friend of the family love it ~~

and yes there he is again, Autumns creation the green man with two faces love him even if he is a little scary

There you have it what makes This home .... my home.

also just a note I am working on getting this blog set up as just a

Cyndis Re-Creations blog I will be starting another blog of just home

stuff as I seem to lean towards that a little bit more. Yes there will be plenty

of slipcovers in my home blog as it is unavoidable my home is Slipcover City!!!

Have a great weekend !
