Felt Fun

I bought a roll of natural felt from Estonia last time I went. So I made these rustic looking candle cozy's 

Anneli in Design Sponge

My knitted pillows were finally featured in the Design Sponge (my bible!) in March. Check it out here !

Little Garden Project

This chair came with the house, we found it in the basement. I gave it a new coat of paint to prevent rusting and, removed the bottom and planted the ever happy Purple Heart. 

Got Fork?

Yesterday I decided to paint a giant fork on my kitchen wall. Our cat freaked out when she saw it for the first time. I should've filmed that encounter :)

Scrap Wood/Coffee Sack Bench

Construction on the second floor is on hold for now. It's literally like a sauna up there now in the summer. But we can salvage a lot of scrap wood from that room and make new cool things out of it. Like that chest. I think that came out so awesome. 
I posted on FB that I started collecting vintage grain sacks. Some friends brought me the Basmati bags, the other friend got me this large coffee bag from Netherlands. She does a lot of traveling there buying old furniture for her store (www.mooblisahver.com). Thanks Piret!
So first we made a box using 2x4-s and 1x2-s from the construction room.

The coffee sack material is sturdy but very sheer and wimpy, I sewed a different fabric under it to make it sturdier by sewing a grid all across the material. 
I get foam from work, we pack heavy stuff there so foam is free. It was a pain to make the trim. It sheared like crazy. But in the end it looks pretty neat I think. If the cats start scratching that I will be very very mad.
