#60 doctor who party idea

[doctor who party idea]

one thing that my kids get excited about

on the morning of their birthdays- 
>> aside from the presents, of course <<

-is the surprise themed decoration 

i prepare for them every year
>> party or no party <<

from thomas the tank engine, to spongebob, to nascar

to mario, yankee baseball, angry bird, to club penguin

and this year, for my teenager's favorite

DOCTOR WHO

a backdrop for the photo shoot

DOCTOR WHO is widely available on BBC in UK

it's been a challenge finding them in 

party supply stores in the US

so i made them myself

so simple...

happy crafting and enjoy the party ☺

#59 ottoman makeover

[ottoman makeover]

this ottoman needs some makeover

i would usually paint over a furniture

to give it a different look

but it just will not work on this one this time

>> if you can't paint it, cover it <<

i made this slipcover for the ottoman
using 2 yards of gray gingham fabric
from IKEA
