Today has been a strange day to say the least.
Still feeling a bit down...
So I carved out some me time and painted these mini birdhouses
Not what I originally had in mind when I bought them...
sTrANgE
I was in a pinkie pie
shabby chic kinda mood
with a bit of ZeBRa thrown in!
Here's another view
Think they will be listed in my Zibbet shop tomorrow.
Unless, you are interested now...
$3.50 each
$9.50 for the set of 3
Then... still feeling 'OfF'
I grabbed the fabric samples I bought a while back
Two bucks a square...I think I got a good deal considering
the cheapest yard of each of these was about $60.00
Most were Laura Ashley and Waverly
My favorite are the two embroidered peices
I backed one with a remnant from the bench fabric used here.
It was from the velvet curtain panel.
The other is a seafoam green and carmelish gold velvet stripe...
I even attempted to add fringe to that one!
It was backed with a dupioni silk in seafoam.
Hubs laughed as I drag out an old couch pillow I had stashed to reuse the stuffing. That stuff can be expensive! I saved it when we got rid of the couch to originally made the dog a bed... sorry Stasha.
Here is the finished pillow with the teal back on the couch. The couch is a rusty colored old set, but in good condition.
I wasn't sure if I could pull off adding the pops of blue to that living room because of the couch...
until I found that fabric!
The other photo didn't upload. I'll show you that one later.
I've got some more stuff coming up for ya,
but for now
I think I may just go to bed.
Maybe tomorrow will be a better day!
Hugs,
Kim

Love the splash of zebra on the birdhouses. Very sweet!! I agree that pillow stuffing is expensive. Great idea to save the couch cushions.

I love your zebra bird house. I actually have a few stashed away and yours actually gave me a few ideas. I'll be adding you to my pinterest board. Thanks for the inspiration!

Dang, woman! You sure are beautifully creative when you're feeling a bit down. These are awesome. I'm a bit partial to the birdhouses, since I love them. I love how unique you made yours.
Hope you're feeling better.

Not to say you should be down more, but I will say it brings out some more creative juices. Those are so cute, I love how you did them all so different. Great looking fabric too. Thanks for sharing with my newbie party.

Wow those bird houses are very cute! Just became a follower. cheers Katherine
A great mix of styles. Who would have thought shabby chic and zebra? But it works! I must say, though, that you are selling them way to cheap. They are darling and worth much more.
Thanks for linking them to Motivated Monday at BeColorful and I hope you will visit again.
