When is comes to this time of year, my mind goes into creative overdrive. I realize my posting is much less now that my original goal has been met, but believe me, I am still making stuff. There are about ten Christmas gifts in the works as well as my calender drawings. Current projects involve sewing, crafting, drawing and crocheting. I am proud to say that a good chunk of gifts are already done or close to being done, yeah! Working in a fabric store has definitely boosted my creativity and some days too many ideas are crowding my mind. Because funds are still low for us, I have been buying things bit by bit every payday. It helps to not have to blow an entire paycheck all at once. This also is good because with my discount on top of sale price, I have gotten some incredible deals. Add caption Today, my post will be the first of my calender pages. There are two finished so only ten to go!
I always remember this chair in my Grandpa's apartment. When he originally had it, it was upholstered in yellow vinyl. It became mine after he past away many years ago. The vinyl had seen better days but I still really liked the chair and wanted to recover it. The fabric had to be just right and it took a while to find the perfect design. This awesome art design was THE one, the only problem was the price. Luckily it wasn't a popular pattern and it eventually got marked down to a price that was affordable. It was easy to redo, a little sewing and a lot of tacks. Now it is more of a decorative chair but it always brings back happy childhood memories when I look at it.
