I FINISHED MY LITTLE VANITY CHAIR TODAY!!!!


Here are a couple of pictures of a little vanity chair that I found a couple of years ago at a garage sale.  She has been waiting patiently in my shed forever, being pushed aside, thinking I'll never get to be pretty again.  Well one day Lisa, at Tarnished & Tattered was over and we looked in my shed.  She saw this dirty little pink chair and loved it.  That made me think that I really needed to do something with this little lady.  The metal part of the chair is wonderful and the wooden part was still in good condition.  So I took some pictures and went to work.  I spent several hours taking off the old fabric.  It was so dirty and horrible.  I used the fabric to cut some paper patterns, then cut the material, getting it ready for the new transformation.  It took a couple of days to get the seat and back molded into the little pillow pockets.  But when it was finished I loved it, hope you do too.  I've got it completely ready to sell.
Well this is my little lady in all her glory.  Hope you like her.  I had such a good time dressing her up in all this new finery.  She had went from dull and dirty to a lovely lady waiting for someone to love her as much as I do.  Hope you have enjoyed my little trip today and now I will work some more on the antique wooden desk chair.  I am ready to start the embroidery on the Crazy Quilted chair cushion.  Come back soon and have a wonderful night sweet friends. 

Hugs, Pat

Good for you finishing your chair! Doesn't it feel good to finish something? I wish I could finish up with all this paperwork I am buried under. I am hoping that I will come up for air next week. You sounded so much better on the phone the other day. Glad you are feeling better. Reba had been doing GREAT for almost a week now but, today she had a super BAD day. ????? They changed her food & I think that threw her pancreais off wack again. HUGS! Charlene
