Project Day : Bunny Lamps

How cute are these lamps? I covered the shades of some ceramic bunny lamps this week. They are finished now and I am ever so pleased with them. I used Ozbourne Village Blue fabric and some white pom pom fringe. I was first thinking of these for a children's room but now I am thinking of myself. I can't resist those ears!

Have a great weekend.

Project Day: $5 Scarf + Vintage Tablecloth

It's amazing what you can do with so little.
Many people think they can't do much to change what they have at home.
I say yes you can!
This hot pink pom pom scarf was on the sale rack at Kmart for $5 this week.
I had no idea what I was going to do with it but I bought it.
Then yesterday I saw this cane lantern on sale for $20.
It all came together then!
I had these cushions made up from a vintage tablecloth I found in Ulmarra last year.
Wa La.
A new look (again) for my white sofa.
Have a great weekend.

Project Day: Studio Curtain

A busy week. We had some special visitors from a national magazine. We cannot reveal anything yet, but we will soon. V Exciting.
So we had to make a special curtain for the occasion!
Using the patchwork method we sewed a whole heap of our fabric (in pre-cut squares) together.
Then some floral opened edged lace trim from an op shop in Mullumbimby came in handy for the top encasement for the curtain rod. Easy peasy.
After a few hems & pressing it was done.

Don't forget today is the last day for 20% off new arrival fabrics in our webstore.
Happy Weekend.
