Something new for Shannon

New pillows and table runners for Shannon. I love this fabric! Have a great rest of the week

A New Look for Marridee

Once again I did not take before pictures !!! but here are the afters. a sweet swivel rocker for a new grandbaby on the way I love the color and the print

and buttons down the back too.

Although this project turned out well the fabric that was chosen by my sweet client was too heavy so it was difficult to work with. This was not her fault and certainly not the first time this has happened, I'm just having a really hard time explaining to my clients what fabrics are appropriate for slipcovers as most of my consultations happen via email or phone. Any suggestions out there????

new look for an old rocker

Here are some pictures of the cushions that I redid for a glider rocker. I really love the fabric that my client chose for the cover its for a little girls nursery. These are completely removable and washable as my client wanted to be able to wash them every once in a while

looking forward to lots of new projects in the Studio this new year.

More Pictures from past Projects

I found more pictures from when I sold threw Ebay

I kinda miss making totes...
I was always excited when I got a bid especially when they came from other countrys

Like France and Japan

Somthing other than Slipcovers

I have been going threw some of my many many many pictures that I have stored on the computer and thought it would be fun to share some of them here before I delete them.

These are some of the things that I have done for shops around town. Glasses cases, checkbook covers and key leashes all made with vintage bark cloth

These bags are some knitting bags that I have made for LYS ( local yarn shops )

the flat thing with the button is a needle case

This is one of my favorite made with vintage fabrics and lace Truly one of a kind

I've been having fun going threw all my old projects.... I'll be sharing more in the next few days.

Happy Holidays

Getting a little personal on this post as I am sending you greetings from my very own home, decorated for the Holidays

I Always have fun decorating a little bit differently each year for Christmas. This year its red and white all the way.

And yes there is a newly slip covered couch "in White" The Couch I got in trade from my daughter as this beast would not fit in her new apartment.

I found a couple of 10.00 dollar throws at walmart and made some new pillow covers from an old curtain that I had saved. Really the only other thing that I purchased new was the sweet little cardinals that are sitting on my tree. ( I say this for me, not you ) I always end up spending too much on decorations and I'm trying to tone it down abit. I think I did pretty well this year.

Happy Holidays

A Chiair and some pillows

A pretty Chair and pillow covers for Carmella pillow covers

the back of the chair ~ Carmella wanted different buttons down the back of the Chair so I combined covered buttons along with some stacked pink and coral buttons

Sweet and simple I think this slip cover will be great for both spring and fall

Im Still Here

Yes I'm still here, in the shop and trying to get ready for Christmas Too. Thought I'd share some cushions that I redid before Thanksgiving. This is the before. Here is the after. My Client had these done for her son. They wanted to masculine them up a bit. As I understand they are the cushions to a wicker couch and love seat set.

I really like the way they turned out I realize now that I should have set them up for the picture. oops .

A Cottage Cutie

I've been busy out in the studio lately and finally remembered to take pictures this time! This was my latest project A love seat, office chair and a cushion on a trunk ( that I forgot to take a picture of ) here is the before of the love seat and since I took the picture in the after noon you can see that the sun was shinning that day making for a crummy picture ... sorry Here is the office chair completed with the new cottage/vintage look, oh yeah that was the request from my client since she didn't want to do the fabric shopping she laid out her list of requests and I was to do my best to come up with something great! this made me a bit nervous cause you know how these things go ... when you are looking for something specific well that's when things can get very frustrating. I was lucky this time though. Here was the list

1~ she loves yellow so there had to be yellow
2~ a vintage look
3~ A cottage look mixing fabrics
4~ accent colors reds and green
5~ floral
6~ stripes
7 ~buttons please

I am happy to report it only took 2 trips to the fabric store to find this combination and I love love the way that it turned out.

Again a picture in the Afternoon sun sorry

since we had a variety of fabrics I gave her the option to make the cushions reversible so we did!

Buttons down the back!

so there you have it, a cottage cutie

I have to say these are my very favorite projects to work on. lots of colorful fabrics and the freedom to be creative. Don't get me wrong I love my white slipcovers I just don't have as much fun putting them together.
Have a great rest of the week

Changing it up for Fall

I love pulling all of my fall decorations out and setting them around the house but most of all
I love painting my entry way wall this gorgeous orange for fall. It warms up the whole feel of the house with a rich and full color.

another one of my new favorite things is this scent for fall... it smells like an apple orchard in my house right now.
