Mother's Day Gift

So I got this quote from Pinterest (of course).  This was my first foray into quilling - I think it turned out fine!  (Don't worry, I fixed those chips on the frame before I gave it to my mom!)

Here are some pics of the process

Reupholstering chair & ottoman

So it began as this ugly, worn out blue chair.  Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of it!

Here it is, almost done.

Voila!  I love this pattern!

My Favorite Books Watch

A few of my very favorite books always around my wrist to remind me.  Bought the frame slides at Michaels and printed up the tiny covers on photo paper.  On top of that, I put clear plastic to protect the photo.  (I got the clear plastic from packaging - you know the kind that is impossible to open?  That kind.  Works great for this sort of thing.)  Upcycled the timepiece from a horrible watch I got on clearance at Big Lots.  This idea has been rattling around my brain for months, and I'm glad it is now decorating my wrist!
