I have been slowly working on making my living room space somewhere nicer to be - crocheting and sewing, and today it finally feels like it has come together!!! Here are some pics - not easy to take, as there is sunlight (hurrah!!), and a window - but here is what there is. I am really pleased, and looking forward to snuggling on the sofa crocheting this evening, with some scented candles lit, and maybe even a glass of wine!
Bunting made from a vintage skirt, and the window sill
Paper flowers, and a jam jar cosy (my family think I have finally cracked!)
Close-up of vintage fabric bunting, I also used strapping from the Dorset Scrapstore, so a free, fully upcycled project!
Cushion from vintage skirt
Crocheted mega-cushion
Back of green cushion (again, fabric from the Scrap store!)
Cushion made using the Attic 24 tutorial
Back of above cushion (made from an old jumper!)
Back of vintage skirt cushion (again, made from an old jumper)
Cushions in a row
Pin cushion made from vintage tea cup that was given to me, and sits beautifully on the window sill.
I am really pleased - hope you like it!
Also really excited to be guest posting over at Imagine Gnats today. Thanks for having me Rachael :-)
Ah, I love it when a plan comes together!!! Funnily enough I was sorting out my fabric stash which had taken over the living room and making space for new fabric coming in for my online store (if/ when I ever get it open!!!) The living room never stays that way but I shall enjoy the tranquility while it lasts... hope you do to x
