The one thing in my youngest daughters room that looked out of place was her chair. The rest of her room is adorned with bright colours, wonderful artwork, flag bunting the list goes on, but her chair was , well, drab. I didn't actually take a photo of the chair before its makeover (which I should have) but have found a photo of one that is pretty similar to how it looked, but mine was a darker blue and really worn and faded. This chair also had the misfortune of being in the way of a projectile vomit recently so was taken outside and hosed off where it stayed for a few weeks. It needed a makeover!!!
So after pulling it all apart , removing the old fabric and working my magic on it you would not recognise it as the same chair. Now it fits into her room beautifully.
My blog as usual has been very quiet. Only when I think I have something worth saying or showing you do I pop in here. So today I have something to say.
My online crafty friend Jess has set up a Beanie Drive and is looking for crafty types who could donate to the cause.

Just had so show you this little guy
My latest little critter
And remember the song?...........
Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky It had the one long horn, one big eye I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee" It looks like a purple eater to me
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater (One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)
Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me I heard him say in a voice so gruff I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine But that's not the reason that I came to land I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater (We wear short shorts) Flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground He started to rock, really rockin' around It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater I like short shorts Flyin' little people eater Sure looks strange to me (Purple People?)
And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know I saw him last night on a TV show He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head
One of my childhood memories is snuggling up in front of the little black and white spare tv with my brother watching Dr Who. We had a crochet blanket (probably more me than my brother) and I would watch it through the blanket holes, as those monsters were pretty scary you know.
So my latest creation combines my childhood Dr Who memories, My love of teapots and crochet.
