Wanna see what I've been working on.....

First, if you haven't read about our vacation, you should! There's lots of pictures, and I tried not to talk too much!

So......
I made a slip cover for one of the chairs in Marshmallow Manor. Well, actually I made 2. The first one didn't work, so I had to make another one. And I'm quite proud of myself, I did the whole thing by hand....and Yes, I know I used tan colored tread to sew it up, but it was what I had. And it makes it look old.....At least I think it does. I just love this chair now!! And that's one of the pillows that Mercedes sent me a long time ago.....I've been saving it for something special....

And this was the perfect place:) Looks good in it's new home!!

I made a bookcase using some old drawers......

Just glued them together, painted them, and then sanded it. I'm thinking I need bottles of sand to fill it with. Had the bright idea that I'd love to collect some sand from my friends from around the world and display it. So, If anyone has any sand they want to send me, I'd be most delighted:) I still need to find bottles, so I'm in no hurry here:)

Then the other day, I rewarded myself after a doctor appt., and treated my self to some mini hardware! I just love how this dresser turned out. And the funny thing is, Is that my real life dresser looks just the same. **And, for the record, I used the Dremel, All by myself, to drill the holes for the knobs to go in, and I didn't screw it up, lol! Believe me, this is impressive! Hahaa

I love the age and character this dresser has now:)

Sorry, gotta share one more picture...just loved the shadows from the handles!

AND......

I've been painting everything red! Most of this stuff was plastic pieces that came with the Calico Corner sets. And a few were some of those cheap blue with white spots, metal pans. The jugs in the back was made with a big bead.....And the plates were just some random plastic ones. Everything got a coat of red paint, And I used nail stickers to decorate! I lucked out finding strawberries, huh!! Oh, I also went over all the edges of things with a gold paint marker...Just gives it that special little touch.

Here's a close up of the berries...they, too, have gold outlining them.... The color of everything is more true in the picture above...the flash tends to change things.....

Still have a hundred unfinished projects laying around.........LOL, Oh well, keeps me busy huh!!

Ok...Off to catch up on my blog reading, and I have a few trades to finish.......I haven't forgotten ladies, I'm just slooow.


Until Next Time.....
