love your blog -all the pics are great especially the chalkboard chest- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink room, I love Friday's too!
ReplyDeleteFantastic pics! Love the last two especially - I want those chairs!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to get furniture made with contrasting piping like those white and black chairs. It always looks so great!
ReplyDeleteI just got your comment! There's a program called snag-it you can download free for 30 days, after that you pay I think it was $50 bucks and you can snag anything you like.
ReplyDeleteI didn't take the images from the video though, it was at the end when you look at all the products.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Carol Ann - I love Fridays too! Love your pictures -- the dark dining room table is just what I want to end up with when I paint my existing table - fingers are crossed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I actually do enlarge some of my photos, and lately I've been giving them as gifts to my girlfriends too. Flowers are such easy subjects for photography - no posing necessary ;D.

Love the little puppy in that one photo!! So Cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol Ann: I saw you over at Joni's (Cote de Texas) and you asked her how a 'double ruffle' is done. Actually it is quite simple if one has a sewing machine 'ruffler foot' and follows the instructions per usage. The final result is basically a 'full and/or evenly spaced gather' dependent upon your setting.
ReplyDeleteIF curious about the box pleated skirts; a'regular foot and machine stitch' is just used however if making a TRIM there is a tape that you can apply to the wrong side of the fabric and use as a guidline for spacing/creating perfect box and/or knife pleats.
Perhaps Joni knows other methods, but I have found the above the easiest and the methods give you a professional finish. Hope this helps you a wee bit. -Brenda-
what I mean by double ruffle is that the seamstress puts so many gathers per inch. or foot - how ever she measures it. if you tell her to double it, it is exactly that - make twice as many ruffles per foot that your normally would. that is what those designers are doing to get such a great full ruffle. sometimes even triple. it's more expensive though, but it's worth every penny. I hate skimpy.
