have a seat

as promised here is a before and after of my chair for my craft room

supplies:
$9 old chair from Goodwill
$4 upholstery fabric from Joann's
$3 (used 40% coupon) Soft n crafty foam for seat cushion from Joann's
Paint and Primer already on hand
$5 paint brush from Home Depot (my 2nd home)
Nails & nail gun
Sander and sand paper



Thanks to my hubby for already having the wonderful tools. It totally helped a lot. I can't imagine sanding by hand... ouch! or trying to hammer in nails... double ouch!

And here's a couple of pics of the web bracelet that I made this past Friday. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed making jewelry...





i think i should be a hand model. (i'm just playing!)

Happy FRIDAY!!!!!!!!

The chair turned out great! I really like the fabric.

LOVE LOVE freakin LOVE the bracelet! I seriously have to have one. Do you just have a single clasp in the back? I'm so making this the first chance I get!
