10,9,8..the countdown is on!

All going smoothly with the massive paper trail that comes with building a new home.  The plans have been lodged with the council...hopefully all goes well with that too...and we stay on schedule with the delivery of our house, which should be mid-feb.....in the mean time I've been busy making a few items for the new digs...have decided to go as retro as I can without being too tacky lol I'm planning on aqua and brown colors so this week I recovered the kitchen chairs and finally finished the rag rug.

                                                          before...Ugly!

I bought this piece from the oppy for $1.00 its a piece of thick retro cotton, the job didnt take too long, bit dodgy on the underside....but secure, i used plenty of staples.

 I had three attempts at getting the tension of the rag rug right.  First attempt, too tight! I made my self a hat to wear in a rice paddy...lol. 2nd attempt too sloppy....

                                        Almost done, i dont have a picture of it complete (flat batteries)...I used tshirts and track pants, all from my local oppy and all $1.00 each. 15 altogether.....It is the size of a 4 seater round table.  Love It!  
Next post fingers crossed will be photos of the arrival of the new house!!!!!
