Resource Rescue Inc

I have had the Most Fantastic Day today, I went here, http://www.resourcerescue.org.au/  for the first time after seeing the stuff that comes in via face book. I can highly recommend it to anyone who lives in that area or who does crafts etc. I can say it is well set out and plenty of stuff to choose from, lovely and clean and bright. It is up there along with my other favorite stores, Spotlight and Savers.

School Library Flloor Cushions Makeover.

 Floor cushions for the school library have had their seams fixed. They were tired looking and in need of a revamp and updating.

They now have new covers, plus more floor cushions added from my stash acquired from op shops just for this purpose. They now tie in nicely with the chair. one side is plane white and the other has that lovely alphabet print. I used my birthday spotlight gift card and the gift card from the school to get the materials, so really it was free. I had a great time choosing the fabrics.

Library Chair Delivered

 The chair got delivered to the school on Sunday. It is now in its permanent place in the library.

I received a wonderful present from the school, a Spotlight gift card, a super thank you card, I love what was written inside,and a wonderful hardback book called the Wizard of Oz, stunning illustrations and i have not read it and i will treasure them both and will use the Spotlight card for more crafting supplies for my charity makes.

I am looking forward to my next school project, fixing up some floor cushions and jazzing them up.

School Library Chair Makeover.

All the characters I am putting on the chair is done. Added Hairy Maclary. Panda has his kite too.
At the top of the tree is a wool nest and fabric eggs. The fairies have been glued into place.
View from the back.
The other side. I went over all the drawings with a thicker texta. and added more colour.
Front view. I changed the seat to a bluey/green fur, for more pop.
The bottom of the tree has windows made of pearly shells, a face in the trunk, a frog and a lamp and finally a fairy door. All decorated with findings.

If you have the chance to do it then you should, You will not be disappointing, Be a time traveller and go, you will come back having had a wonderful time. I LOVED IT!
Amongst the Many different things I learned is that medicine has changed a whole heap!

Friends with Benefits

Look what arrived in the post today, My Friends with Benefits Partner, Wendy from New Zealand has outdone herself, Look how beautifully wrapped this lot is, and it smelt divine,
This is why, In the package is a wonderful soap and hand cream called Pohutukawa triple Milled Soap with Manuka Honey and the smell is just divine, a large packet of Hershey's Kisses and a very pretty fridge magnet, but the very best of all is this wonderful cushion with the most exquisite stitchery I am in awe of the tiny perfect stitches in very fine thread, Something I have never seen before. What a very lucky girl I am.

School Library Chair Makeover.

The Cat in the Hat finally has a face.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar food in felt and fabric on velvet discs on the back right hand side of the chair. The Very Hungry Caterpillar will be on the back top of the chair creeping over the top facing the front. The butterfly is stuffed fleecy fabric covered in buttons. with pipe cleaner antennae
Fairy 1 is wearing a dress from an adult skirt from Savers. Wings from the $2 shop for a pack of 6 wings. Needs the orange glued onto her hand. I will be leaving their faces blank so that the imagination of the person looking at her will giver her her expression.
All the same description for this fairy too. The dress fabric is from the same skirt. The first fairy is wearing a piece that was the front upper panel.
This is the view from the back of the chair. I am adding a fairy door to the tree and some mushrooms on the roots.
I think that the chair will be finished in about 2 more weeks.
