Couch Refurbishing Take I

After many hours of prowling about Craigslist we came across this fabulously irristiable antique couch and matching chair. We have been wanting to take on a big refurbishing project and instantly set our hearts on ripping apart this couch. Even though we both still live in small rooms at our parents houses and the furniture set cost a small fortune, we didn't hesitate to head downtown and pick up this amazing couch from it's fairly stingy former owner who wouldn't let it go for a penny less than the posted price. After spending an afternoon carting this couch around and then visciously trying to shove it into Madeline's room through doorway we had to remove the hinges from we quickly realized you don't tear couches apart indoors. So after a few days and some minor destruction of the dusty underlying cross supports that caused our allergies to act up, back out the door the couch went. Part Two should be posted sometime soon we are determined to finish this project by the end of the summer before school starts back up!

A Very Special Birthday Present

Ever since my dear friend Karissa re-decorated her room, her lampshade always stood out to me as something that needed a little bit of sprucing up. I decided assign myself that job. With many hours of cutting and sewing on these little flowers. I think her shade was a sucess! I neatly placed her lampshade back on her lamp before she came home from vacation. Also included for her birthday were some fabulous handmade hair clips! They were kind of experimental but I think they turned out to be a pretty popular item. Since all of her friends are asking us to start making them for their birthdays also! I figured making hair clips like those would be another great thing to start producing. So keep an eye out for items like that soon!!
