New Old Chairs

My husband found two old, broken rattan chairs on the street and brought them home. I was mad (because we don't need any more junk!) until I realized that the frames were in fabulous condition. So, I stripped off the rattan and wove new seats and backs out of jute upholstery webbing. Voila! New chairs!

On the wing of the new curtains...

Seth gave me a painting for a headboard. We've needed a headboard for forever, but I can never find anything I like that is low enough for the sloped walls of the room. But I LOVE this. It fits us perfectly.

New Curtains

I got the fabric to make curtains for our upstairs bedroom almost a year ago. I'm just now making them. Whew. Glad that's done!

Handmade in the Arcade

It was a very long day (got there at 10am - left after 10pm) but it was a good show. Tons of people, great vendors and cool artwork in all the surrounding galleries. I'm gonna take a couple days to rest, and then gear up for another Handmade in the Arcade the first week in December!

Checkmate

Seth has been playing chess with the boys. Kaleb finally beat him.

Etsy Metal Blog Carnival

Every once in a while, members of the Etsy Metal team all do a blog post on their own blogs all on the same question. This weeks question is: "What is the most unusual request for a custom made piece that you actually did?"

I don't know how unusual this is, but it's definitely not something I normally do. I made a skull with a beard necklace. It was fabulously thick and I did a full skull (both back and front) and soldered on the beard. It was a really fun project.
