Dining Chairs Done!

I finally re-upholstered and repainted my dining chairs. I decided they should be olive this time, to match my living room. Plus, I seem to be in love with the green family that goes with my tropical theme.




















This is how they looked before the "renovation". I got the "brilliant idea" to paint them in rainbow colors to give them a colorful tropical feel. Yet, after a few months, I realized it was not what I was looking for.


Valentine's Gift for Nephew

My nephew just turned 4 and loves pirates. I've been working on a pirate costume for him to play dress-up for several months now. I finally stole enough moments on the weekends to get the costume done. I hope I will get some pics of him in it.


Here is the completed costume. I embroidered cross bone skulls on the hat (du-rag), the shirt and the pants. I created all except the top includes a pre-made tee in size 5.


A doll I have was nice enough to model the du-rag.
