Ruffles and ruffles and ruffles and MORE ruffles..
I started out feeling energetic
and excited to get this one crossed off my to-do list.
I grabbed a cup of green tea and put on my Ipod outside...
(there's nothing like a little Puccini to (attempt) to sing along to
while working away on a project.)
I was good and in a 'whistle while you work' zone
while working on finishing up my ruffled burlap tablecloth
to share with you.
I love the look of burlap.
The nubby texture...
the rustic and natural feeling...
But not so much loving working with it.
Ugh.
My fingers are in dire need of a manicure at this point.
and oh how my sinuses and itching eyes are aggravated
with me and my crazy crazy project...
this table is 9' long...
that's a lot of burlap!
that's a lot of burlap!
Is it okay to just say that I am not too unhappy that
I ran out of burlap to finish the last few bottom ruffles at this point?
That means I can take a little break!
:)
This is a bit of a project-
especially for someone who is not talented at sewing.
But I have to say...
Even with all the sniffling and sneezing and itching
and fuzzies I am covered in...
I am SO LOVING IT!!
The burlap is so rustic and charming and the ruffles add
just the right amount of shabby sweetness and give it a bit of an elegant feel.
Loving all it's ruffly glory!
and already thinking of making another...
but this time out of soft, non-itchy drop cloth canvas.
:)
Happy Weekend Everyone!
Whoo whoo!!
For those of you who have asked- the bistro chairs are from Kmart
They were part of the outdoor living makeover I did with them :)
