Oh so Ugly! Getting Better

Day two of the project leaves us with a much improved carcass chair frame. With the old, ugly, cat stained (read: smelly) upholstery gone, it was time to get down to business.

 

ahh.....better

Chair leg = cat chew toy

Oh so Ugly!

Couldn't pass it up . . .

It was calling my name . . . 

The woman said, "Make me an offer."

I said, "How 'bout 10 bucks?"

She said, "SOLD!"

I think she was honestly thrilled that she got so much. I was thrilled I paid sooooo little!

Who do you think was right? Her or me?

I hear the song in my head right now saying, "cat scratch fever..."

 

 

 

OUCH!!

 

 

More in the future, with tutorial and big reveal. May take awhile though, as I only bought it this morning!

Recurring Theme

Have you ever noticed a recurring theme taking place in your decorating? I didn't know I had a "thing" going on until sitting in my living room (during a freak "Blizzard") in Texas.

Remember these from a previous post?

 

Well now that I think about it . . .it is true.

My first foray with my "wings" obsession  addiction LOVE began with my love of Fairies. When I was expecting my first child (in 1983), I decorated using these:

The "Fairy" obsession continued with this in 1997 when I cross stitched this.

Then, in honor of 9/11, I cross stitched this in 2002 and it will hang in my entry hall FOREVER. Style b-darnd!

And just last week, after returning from a shopping trip in Bourne, TX., I found these beauties!

 

Which brings us full circle to these, handmade LOVElies created in 2010!

 

and since my name is 

it only make sense!
