*Some* of my junk and a small project

I have been collecting junk good stuff from auctions, thrift shops, and CL since I moved back to Texas last August.

I have some of my finds stored in a barn behind my house ...

and lots more stuffed elsewhere....
 ... including inside my house waiting to be redone and staged properly ...

A few pics for your viewing pleasure ...

 

I plan hope to get some work done and show some finished products

.... someday ....

And now (insert drumroll) my first actual project post ...

 

A friend asked me to cover an old footstool she found ...

The original piece had in *interesting* vintage fabric and was also a foot warmer ... it had an old heating pad under the top.

Here she is all finished - alas, no more foot warmer, I was afraid the old wire might lead to a fire - entirely the wrong kind or warming!  

I used my handy dandy Quick Pleaters for the first time - they made the little ruffle so easy!

I can't decide if I should clean my sewing/craft room so I'm more motivated to be in it, or work on some furniture.  

Hopefully I make up my mind and get something done :-)

'Til next time ... Patty

I will be posting more soon  - life as a teacher is always, always busy ... ugh!  If I'm not working on school related things, there is a mountain of school related work waiting for me.

I do have projects almost ready to post - lots and lots of awesome finds from auctions ... some in the process of being made over, hopefully in a good way :-)

I did have time for a little fun and I'm proud to share the results:





I've always considered myself a nerd, so here is web-based proof, lol.
