Crafty crafty!

Man, i am so slack with this blog at the moment!!! I blame it on only having dial-up!

I have been so busy op-shopping, going to the Moa fabric sale (OH MY GOSH!!!), knitting, sewing, upholstering and making jewellery! Oh, and looking after the fam!

My brother-in-law and his wife are moving in with us tomorrow! We have put Liji in with the girls, Luckily their room is big. Joel still sleeps in our room.

Here is a before and after of the ottoman i bought for $6 the other day! The fabricis a beautiful velvet i got from the Moa sale, it cost me $2 a metre!!! (My first attempt at upholstering)

This set is a customer order! I can't tell you who it is for because she may be reading!
And finally, look at my baby!!! He will be one next month, is JUST starting to commando crawl! He is sooooo cute! Look at those teeth (excuse the snot!!)Is that a record on the number of exclamation marks in one post???!!!

jess, *love* the upholstery, which reminds me: i really need to re-do my dining room chairs, oh how i LOVE The Staple Gun!!!!

just *look* at that bling!!!!!!! gorgeous. i'll have to sit with you and have a go at a necklace like that, do you use head pins and thread the bead on and then just curl the top over the chain loop??

sometimes i think i need a nanny/chef so that i could *create* all day long hahahaha.

Great job on your first attempt at reupholstering! Hopefully you're getting a lot of use out of the ottoman.
