Stool Transformation



About 3 months ago, Traci and I found a "Princess" stool at the good-will store. We bought it for $10.00, a leg was wobbling and basicly this was a big new project to take on! We sanded it, spray painted, sewed, added a pillow for a cushion, fixed the leg. This was the most fun thing Traci and I did! It took a while because there was much to be done. I loved using the staple gun! Dont worry, Aunt Traci showed me the safety percautions first. After everything was done, we spent $15 on a beautiful stool that now looks like something from PB Teen for $80!




Here is the finall product, in my room!! Can you believe the transformation? I loved this project and it was a great bonding experience for us. :D Now, it is black and white poko dot, comfy, has white legs (none broken), and is everything I hoped it would be and better. This stool now sits in my room and is used quite offen! Actually, funny story. My mom and dad got me black and white poko dot cork boards for Christmas and they match the stool perfectly! As you can guess I am doing a black and white theme. Well, I hope you are as happy with the new stool as I am! Thanks for reading!! - A

Fab. new Bag.

My friend, Mary has the cutest bag. I have been looking for one like it for a while and my Aunt Traci said, "Lets make one." So our new project for the month is making a purse!! It will also be not only original, but I get to pick my color and pattern. Who knows maybe I might even put a little A at the bottom...Lol. Traci and I work on a lot together. Look at my post of the "Stool Project." Okay well thats it for now. Bye!

Uncle Donny's morning Walk

I have an Uncle Donny in New Jersey who lives about 5 blocks away from Carlo's Bakery. I told him recently on my mom's facebook that I am a fan of the show Cake Boss. Well he walks past Carlo's Bakery, were Cake Boss is filmed, every day and sent me a picture. I want to come visit him because in the past week we have been talking more than usual and I love it! My Uncle Donny is an amazing guy and a heck of an Uncle/Godfather. Uncle D, I dedicate this blog to you. If anyone wants to comment just leave me a message, maybe about your Uncle or if you have seen Cake Boss.Well, thats all for now.
