Two more sock buddies made with the intent to give one to my soon to be created nephew!

Now to pick the Opera Singing Zebra or the Owl Angel (he has poorly developed wings).

I'm waiting for a massive email to arrive and once it has I shall upload instructions so you can make your own!

Be Well!

You are not going to believe how simple this was, once I figured out the key of refurnishing...

dont take off the old one!!

The chair gets more comfortable and you save alot of time and effort trying to remove the staples.

also make sure the new material doesn't cover where you screw it back on or your asking for trouble!

So in conclusion:
1. unscrew the seat and sit on material
(my op shop is selling material samples which are the perfect size for my seats!)
2. staple around the edges and trim excess material.
3. screw seat back on and enjoy!

So you have an old pillow and the case is shot but just as your throwing it away you realise that theres a zip... and the pillow inside is perfect!

So you get two pieces of material, match it to the size of the old case or make one larger if you want a flap like mine. Sew inside out and reverse when complete. Cut some button holes, use thread to make sure the edges doesn't fray and add additional decorative buttons and voila!

I used material left over from ted's dreads and mother provided the buttons so this case was technically free! sweetness.

So it's been a couple of months, six in fact, since I first set eyes on three little alien magnets from Toy Story.

I spent a month after that in and out of all sorts of American stores looking for some and then upon arriving home, awaited for Toy Story 3 to come out in New Zealand and hoped that there would be magnets brought out here as well!

there weren't.

But you know what there were stickers..
and I have magnet strip.

So these are my very new, very cheap, Toy Story magnets!
Todays craft is updating the old, i mean why buy new gloves when you can add buttons to your old ones!!

They are actually colourful buttons... though you wouldn't think it from this picture! I might take a better one tomorrow but I probably wont.

I spent the morning following around my niece, proceeded to spend the afternoon following around my crazy friend and spent the evening in a theater mostly in darkness waiting for scene changes that didn't seem to change anything. However ones the scene commenced it was hard to stop laughing!

What is it with time, does 11:11 or 1:23 or 2:34 mean anything? cos I see it all the freaking time!?!

Be Well!
