Spring Tablecloth

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010


Why not welcome Spring with a cheap and cheerful tablecloth? I made this one for $5.00 with IKEA teatowels in blue and white. (They come in a pack of four for $2.25!!) Here are the steps:

1. Take three of the cloths and stitch them together by their long sides (I cut the finished edges off first so that I could sew them wrong sides together with the machine, but you could just do a simple hand stitch, or you could get fancy and do a decorative topstitch!) Make sure to combine the patterns so two of the same don’t end up right next to eachother.

2. Sew the remaining cloths along their short sides and combine them with the center section that you made. Align the center of each 2-cloth section with the center of the middle cloth from step 1 (see diagram if that’s confusing)

3. Put finished tablecloth on your table and enjoy!

*This tablecloth is made to fit a round table

This tattoo design is on its way to being done. It’s for my best friend Jenny who, I’m proud to say, has two of my tattoo designs already! I’m going to add in the famous bridge over which the three little goats try to “tramp, tramp, tramp” to get to the green pasture.

Tonight, Petey and I are leaving for a 10 day trip to Ireland to see my Grandfather for his 90th birthday. My Mom’s side of the family all live over there so it’ll be cool to see everyone and introduce them all to Petey finally! I’ll be posting from time to time over there, but it won’t be as regularly as from home. Sláinte!

I just got a “work me over” facial at Rittenhouse Rescue Spa and I am totally gross! I have funny hair from the head band and a face full of bumps and lumps from the extraction. I’ve been told that beautiful skin is a choice – little did I know I was choosing acne for all these years!

Tricky photos!

Look at this! This Chinese man paints himself to match each background. Love the “invisible man” one in particular.

Here are a few pics of my new little rescue cat Bootsie. He’s got an adorable little cleft lip and right now he’s all bandaged up because he cut up his paws out on the mean streets.
