This week's to~do list.

Lots on the to do list for this week
First there will be painting Painting this shelf so that I can have a place to keep finished projects that are ready for Market
next a little window and wall treatment for the shop I've been wanting to do this for quite some time



I've found the fabric and even a little extra something for fun. Those removable wall words.
Yup these windows defiantly need something


I will also be working on some things for the next Hog Shed Sale
I found these Feed sacks? a couple of months ago they will be pillows





This chair will get a whole new look inspired by the feed sacks





I'm slipcovering the chair with a drop cloth I cant wait





and then I well need to get creative with this stuff I'm thinking bags but you never know.





Thanks for stopping by, hope you stop back to see my progress.

Tooth Fairy Pillows for The Hog Shed

An idea that I have had for quite some time now and I've finally gotten around to putting a basket full of them together. Sweet little pillows that have a pocket on the front. In this pocket there is an envelope, actually there are two one for the tooth and one for "the tooth fairy" to switch out.

I was so excited when I found these little envelopes they have sweet little bits of fancy confetti in them, just enough to make it special .



These will be another addition to the Hog Sheds wonderful March sale. Hope to see you there!

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.
