The first thing that I have to do
is thank
Nancy of The Joyful Cottage
because she is my inspiration for
this project.
She did a post on
Stenciling Snowflakes onto
Drop-cloth and making gorgeous
pillows . . . all that I can say
is, check it out here:

I didn't use stencils but I did
use drop-cloth . . .
And a combination of doilies
and a vintage handkerchief.
This is a photo of my wicker rocker.
I love the pillow and cushion,
but I wanted a change.
Not a permanent change . . .
but a washable slipcover change :)
Well, that's it for today . . .
Have a wonderful day
& God bless you.
P.S. To all of you that left comments
on my last post,
Thank you so much!
You're the best.
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
It's nice!!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is just lovely. I have some of my grandmother's doilies, this would be a fabulous way to display them. I saw Nancy's stenciled pillows and agree, they are inspiring and I also agree that she is the sweetest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference that makes! I love the light color of the dropcloth. I saw Nancy's post too about using the dropcloth, and that is now on my list of what I need to buy. I did have one but it has disappeared somewhere in the depths of my garage! I love your idea too, of using it for the pillow and cushion. I love the idea of pillow.. making them so they come off and are washable. I have two for a little pillow I use on my bed to put under my shoulder when I sleep. In fact I have 3. Two are to change in and out all year long, and then I made a Christmas one. I love your use of the doilies and hankie! You are being very creative this days friend! Hugs.. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHer pillows are cute and I love your creative variation on it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to change things up! And a great way to use up old doilies and other pieces. You're so creative!
ReplyDeleteI just love your beautiful, delicate cover. How nice your rocker looks! I'm going to go check out Nancy's blog. I hope all is well with you my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy

ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty, I love the combo of the handkerchief and the doilies, beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out beautifully! I will have to look at her blog again. Nancy
ReplyDeleteI love yours and hers --enjoyed looking at her pictures and that sofa !!! Anything done with old needlework is going to be special, you did extra special.
ReplyDeleteConnie, you have perfectly captured a charming cottage chair with your slipcover transformation. I love what you did with the doilies and hanky. So sweet. Thank you so much for the shout out. I'm glad you found inspiration to create your own special look for your sweet cottage. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWow, how beautiful, Connie!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a wonderful idea. I love how yours turned out.
