The Dancing Clown

This year I ran out of time to put up my Halloween decorations.  Thankfully it only took a minute to find a picture of Pennywise to download and use for my husband and childrens' holiday morning enjoyment.  Yes, I am a caring wife and mother.

Have a safe and happy Halloween and remember...

WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE...

Muahahhahahaha,

Flour Sack Foot Stool

Say that ten times fast.

It's been a while since I have done a before and after.  This footstool was ummmm, gross.  I mean GROSS.  The fabric was an orange and green tweed.  Lovely.  Fortunately it was also stained and stinky, YEAH.

I liked the feet though.  I could see the possibilities!  First I stenciled a piece of linen-like fabric to mimic a French flour-sack.  Then I ripped all of the upholstery fabric off and tore the foam out and threw it all away.  Then I sprayed the webbing and wood with a diluted bleach mixture to get rid of the musty smell.  It worked quite well.  Then I replaced the padding and recovered it and am quite happy with the results.

Coming up soon......

Can you believe my husband thought these should have stayed at the dump!  Preposterous!  I mean...yes the foam has undergone some sort of chemical reaction that has rendered it to a Cheeto-like powder and there may or may not have been some extra mouse-like dead bodies inside...but I mean really!  Can't you see the possibilities?

No?

Just wait.
