Make'um look like they belong in a vintage Camper!

yup that was the request here is what they looked like when I got them, very generic... Now we have them fixed up with some great red vinyl and ticking that Claire found.

I hope to get some pictures of them in the camper when we finish up with curtains and pillows.

And then I can let you know where you can see this camper too.
I love the way that they turned out Very Vintage!

Getting Ready for the Fall Rush

A little bit of cleaning and organizing in preparation for some fall sewing I love working in a clean organized shop and no, It doesn't stay this way for long

Chairs have been purchased over the summer in anticipation of a busy season.

Back soon with some completed projects.

Thanks for stopping

In the Shop

Yesterday I was able to work most of the day in the shop. I got a gift done for DD#2's birthday that is coming up in a couple of weeks. A set of fun patio chairs for her new apartment that has a little balcony.
The chairs I got for free on the side of the road. They were white I used a brown spray paint with texture in it. Then I found this great outdoor fabric a Jo~Ann's fabrics and made some reversible funky cushions

and I cute little table from Wal Mart for 15.00 love it, it's almost a perfect match

I was also able to finish up a set of Cushions for a client that has a very cool wicker couch.

Hope she loves them

I love the color and they are super soft to sit into.

Have a great weekend~

Up Date on Autumn and Shop Stuff too!

Just wanted to thank all of you who sent emails and purchased the Totes to help Autumn and Steffan get back on their feet (Which they are) We are so blessed to have so many Friends and
Organizations that are out there that are so willing and able to help out. The biggest a surprise to me was the way that our local Wal Mart stepped up and helped out. They were on site and unloading a truck full of food clothes toys formula diapers and personal hygiene items as the Red Cross was setting up. Wow Right?
Also since Autumn works at Wal Mart, her manager let her know immediately that if her and her boy friend needed a couple of changes of clothing all they need do was to pick it out and take it to the service counter and it would be taken care of. wow again!

they are in a new apartment building and are the proud new owners of donated living room and bedroom furniture

I also wanted to sent out a special thank you to Claire at The Hog Shed The Hog Shed for her very generous gift of cash. Thank you Claire! and Thank you Mom you are always so generous.

Not all was Lost a lot of their dishes and a Kitchen items made it as most of the damage was water and smoke related also saved was most of Autumns artwork ( so very precious to her)

Two of her water colors above. I just love them.

In the Shop... a couple of things that I put together for a client. I'm not sure if these fabrics are hers ( by this I mean that she is the creator of Thimbleberries Quilting fabrics) Very Cool I love the fabric for the footstool its little school houses and books too Cute!

Have a great rest of the week .

"She" Signed My Chair

Well a picture of a chair that I slipcovered with her fabric. I was lucky enough to meet Amy Butler at our local (an hour away) quilt shop!!! I was so nervous. but I did it!! thanks to my good friend Deanna that reminded me that she was there. What a nice lady by the way, very sweet and down to earth. Great experience! Now I
have a signed picture for the workshop!
Back in a day or two with my after picture on the chair from the previous post
I'm waiting on zippers to arrive in the mail to finish it up.

The Before

this is what I will be working on today. A nice big chair, she's super comfy and soon to have a nice clean bright look I chose this chair because of the scale of the pattern on the fabric this print is BIG it really needed a big chair.

I love the colors and design of this fabric and cant wait to get it done!!
have a great Day

A New Coffie Table

I spent some time on another personal project today and am finally happy with it. My first try (no pictures ) was the under slipcover made of an old bed spread and the fit was way to tight it looked like a giant mushroom! so I added a slipcover over my slipcover and I'm happy with it now I like the way that the other slipcover peeks out at the bottom

here is the before

yeah it needed a little something, Right?

Have a great week

Slipcover showoff #10
