Slipcover Extravaganza

In this post, I will showcase three separate slipcover projects.

I did NOT use a pattern, but thought it would be nice to show that patterns are available for purchase just in case you find the prospect of creating one on your own too daunting at first (view image at left).

My camera, due to a memory card malfunction, wasn't working at the time that I made these slipcovers so I resorted to creating rough sketches as a means to explain the process as simply as I could.

I have since purchased a new memory card, enabling me to include photos of the finished products from the reverse and right sides.

Just When You Thought You'd Seen It All...SLAMB Happened!

Just having pizza and root-beer
This post is purely for fun!

Anyone who knows me, knows SLAMB,  a.k.a Special Lamb. 

Trevor and I found Slamb at a GIANT TIGER grand opening when we lived in Mississauga, Ontario in 2006.

At first, Slamb was your typical stuffed animal.  He just sat there and looked, well...stuffed!

Then one day, I had to wake Trevor for work. I had Slamb in my hands because I had been playing with him, so I took him along...I  shook his little hooves (there are little beads in them that sound like a rattle) and hit the wall to wake Trevor up !

That was it!  He became our constant little companion.

I Didn't Get My Castle, So I Settled For A Sectional!!!!

I know, I know, the title of this post sounds a bit strange but I'll explain.

When I was a young girl living in Dalhousie, New Brunswick I had two dreams.
I wanted to be an artist like my Grandfather, and I wanted to be a princess and live in a castle (specifically Chateau Frontenac because I had seen a photograph of it).

Oh, the dreams of youth...
What am I saying? I still want to be a princess and live in a castle!!!
