More crafting fun!

** Blogging from the phone so forgive any crazy typo's and the fact that the pictures aren't in any type of order...lol**

So over the weekend I enjoyed a great birthday and spent some fun time playing in the nursery. Well for one, that wonderful changing table (wrong color and all) had to be taken down and reboxed- the company actually paid to have it shipped back- go figure. But it's ok, we reordered another one and hopefully they'll send the right color this time.

Since it was down I decided to do some rearranging and must say I like the new layout much better! ( We still have to do something about that TV but that's another day.)Another piece we added to the room was the glider(I've been trying to find a nice inexpensive one for a few weeks). Well once we finally got it all put together I told the hubs that it needed some color. So, to JoAnn's I went.




I had no pattern, but found one in a book in the store- to get an idea of how much fabric to buy. Well,as always I forgot to take a few pictures during the process, but nonetheless it was pretty simple. Literally I laid each cushion on the fabric and traced around it (you can see my pen marks below..lol). From there I cut a little more than the trace and sewed it up. I even added little ties to the back piece- I did the same for the bottom cushion. Of corse I left the arms the original tan color because I couldnt figure a simple fix for them, but they match the fabric pretty good. 

 Now by the time I got to the ottoman I was a little tired (lol) so as you can see I just flipped the ottoman over and with the use of some push pins "tacked" it in place(don't judge).





 About 30 minutes later,  voi la new covers for the chair



So all in all I think it came together nicely. Still excited an getting prepared all along our Anderson Adventure.
