My Sewing Project

My Sewing Project

If you follow my blog, you will remember that I brought this
bench and another one from a thrift store a while back. I had
not got around to doing anything to them. They were
going to be park benches but I found benches that I like
better for that. So what to I do with these?

Now that I am back on my doll budget, I am back to working
with some of the things that I have. I took a suggestion made
a friend about the benches. I am making them sofas in a county
style home.

Before

So this was my sewing project and photo shoot for
the weekend. I made the cushion and set up this
room for a shoot.


"Waiting For Tea Time" is what I call it.


A little country living room where two friends can have
tea! (Yeah I could have pressed the rug! Oh well!)


I used some old pieces that I haven't used in a while to add
some little touches.

I made the cushion from fabric I had. I have two bags of
fabric waiting for projects. I have to be in the mood for
sewing. My budget will now have to get me in the mood!


Oh and don't worry, you guys that make sofas. Ms Leo
will not be competing with you. Your save!
I got this tea set last year at the Flower Show.


I found these glass bottles at a thrift store. I found the clock

and the vase there too. The antique stove is a Avon perfume

bottle I found at a thrift store the same day. It was a

really good shopping day!


This plate ( so cute), flower pot( thimbles really) and the

tables came from a Dollar Store. You can't beat the

Dollar Store!


Rug is a place mat. I will need to work on my art and

hanging the art. By the way it is hanging, it looks like

something was in the tea. I really need to up my game on

how I do that. I should put pictures on core board.

I like the way the room came out. I have to

see what other things I can do now.

Finds At A Flea Market

Flea Market Finds!

I was at a Church flea market over the weekend. I

went looking for cake! Yes, that's right cake. Old

church ladies make the best cake. I was hoping

for 7-up cake or lemon poppyseed cake or maybe

spice cake. If you are really lucky, you'll find a coconut

cake with creamcheese icing and lemon filling! Yum!

These aren't the kind of cakes you might find at the

market. I found some cake there but not any of the

special ones I was looking for.

I did find these!

A couch tissue box cover. This goes over a tissue

box. There is a slit behing the pillowes where the

tissue comes out. This was luck. I got it for $1.00.

I found theses too.

The brass ones will go well with the sofa.




African decor.


These are classics

These egg holders will make great plant stands or some

other kind of stands. They were 25 cent each.

This is the big score. Tea Time Barbie set. The box says

"With her friends Lil Bear and Cozy Bunny." The set

the bear andbunny, tea service, Barbie doll and two

chairs and a table new in box for $10.00. I have two

matching chair to this set, so I had to have this.

The plush toy crew!

I have one doll with this face. I don't think I need two.

I will have to have a face off!

It was a great day but it would have been even better with some special cake!
