Sewing Project: Apron!


After I reupholstered my antique chairs I had a little fabric left and decided to make an apron. It's hand sewn while watching Victorian Farm a historical BBC documentary TV series.

Panda Cakes!



This Monday my sister and I decided to make these cute little guys. They're vanilla cake and vanilla icing with Oreo crumble. Yum! :) 

The recipe is from the cookbook "Hello, Cupcake!".

Re-Upholstered My Chairs

I've been meaning to post this for awhile, but keep forgetting. When I was looking around for new furniture in Portland I can across Lounge Lizard Vintage Furniture. They were really great and I found a table and chair set I really loved. Except for the fabric which looked like this...

After I took off the roses, layer after layer of fabric just kept coming off. It looked like the oldest was probably from the 50's. It was like pealing back time and I really wish I would have thought to take a picture of all the different fabrics all lined up. *Sigh*, oh well. At least I can show how the chairs look now!
