Story of an old stool.






I found this old stool at the Kenny Rd Department Store, known to the locals as "the tip". 
It cost me 2 bucks.



I took it home and scrubbed it up a bit.


And gave it the white coat treatment.

Not being content with that I got out Mr Hook and made a pretty little cover.

Inspired by the Yvestown blog, where I spied this little number.

Wood and Wool stool 
Not being one who likes to follow a complete pattern.

One who prefers to try a bit of this and that.

I visited Lucy at Attic 24 for ideas for the top and sides and googled
edging stitches for well obviously,
the edge.



I think the wonkiness makes it more homely;)



I then set about a photo shoot for the stool.
I used my ipod and my camera and spent ages fiddling with all the apps.





Guess whose hubbies is a Weeds Agronomist?





We are gearing up for footy and netball tomorrow.
Before then I intend to put in some
serious
time on the couch tonight.
Hope you have a terrific weekend.

If you don't know what to do with yourself.
Well,
I would recommend a trip to your
tip shop.
You never know what you might find.

  5. Hey Deb, You are a whizz kiddo.
    I'm very impressed.

    Almond oil in shower has been a disaster - so hilarious it will be a blog of its own. An Austrian tirade resulting in "Shannon Lush" being deemed a swear word chez inTownsville!

  7. Hi Ann. Glory is Australian rules football. Netball is a game mainly played by. Girls while the football is playing. There are 7 players per team and the aim is to shoot the ball through a ring like a basketball without any bouncing of the ball, just throwing.

  9. That cover is awesome. I can't believe you just whipped that up. You can't complain about a $2 stool either. xx
