Chair of Sarah - Continued

And now, a short intro:

 Sarah had already stripped the previous fabric & batting off this chair that goes to her bedroom vanity set.
 I gathered the necessary supplies from around the house & set up my workspace on my front porch. 
I went out last night & got some batting & an exacto knife that I'd been wanting for a while.  
 
" It's like cutting a cloud" - Jen Ardill
I added a little glue to make sure the batting was nice & secure.
 I should have written a secret message. Next time I guess. 
 I trimmed the fabric (read: fantastic sheet Sarah found at a thrift store) & started stapling. 
 Done & done. 
I just need to screw the new cushion on & deliver it to it's owner. 
Let me know if you have any projects you'd like to commission me for! 
Check out my portfolio for other examples of what I can do...

Jade's Bookcase

My beautiful friend Jade was moving apartments a few months ago and decided to get rid of her red dresser and bookcase. Of course, I snagged them. 

The bookcase has seen better days - it's peeling red paint over laminated wood would be hard to cover with paint so I think I'm going to try my hand at covering it with the rest of my fabric. 

I'm not sure where to start, and it's pretty wobbly so I'll have to come up with quite the inventive solutions, but I'm looking forward to the challenge! Also, this piece will be going up for sale when it's done (hint hint...!). 

Okay, off  to put on a Lissie playlist and get to work! In the mean time, you should go to the right hand corner of my blog and follow me...

New Project

So my dad was going to bring the piece of wood for the bottom of Ben's Chair, but can't come this weekend after all (my grandpa's in the hospital). Ssoooo...I may have to put this project on hold until I can connect with my pops. In the mean time, I've managed to find this amazing bed sheet ($4.99) at the Value Thrift store on E. Riverside that's just begging to be made into something:
...and this pretty darn cute children's book from 1964 ($0.10) that is brimming with possibilities of tables or canvases: 
Which do you think I should work on next?
