I do have some other 'tunes' in mind, but for the moment I am staying with a theme. There is only so much I can do in the hour or so I have taken to create. And I had to share with my husband las night. He actually (GASP!) used one of dropcloths to paint something. The horror!!
And you know what?! I have decided to give away a dropcloth. Details are at the end of this post.
More pleats 'cause I really like the way they look with the mix of formal and rustic.
Crown buttons since crowns seems to be a bit of a trend.
And my quick easy pillow. I have a few ideas for more pillows but will throw them in the background of some other projects so I don't end up boring people.
And the Giveaway! I will send a Home Depot dropcloth to whoever wins a drawing I will do on November 21. To enter the drawing leave a comment telling me what you would do if you had a dropcloth to use or run through my blog and tell me which project I have made you like best. You can get a second entry if you post about the giveaway and let me know that you did so.

Good morning Brenda!
ReplyDeleteYour post cracked me up! how dare your hubby do such a thing~ to think he used a dropcloth as a ...um... dropcloth!! w h a t was he thinking?? ;-)
Ok..I want to enter the contest! I totally LOVE the chaise dropcloth slipcover you made! I love the ruffles & want to make something w/ ruffles. I hate to think that I might actually want to make another slipcover....but...I do have a certain ghastly pink chair that could use an overhaul....Question for you...is dropcloth as thick as duck?
Thanks
Shellagh
And thank you for your nice comments on my site! It really makes my day :-}
sorry, I totally forgot to tell you my thoughts on your pillow..... I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the 5 button version & I so love the pleats w/ the unfinished edges...man that is cute.

I would make a slipcover for my sister's ugly (yet is has great "bones") nursing chair. She is having her baby this Sunday! Funny I just mentioned to her that using dropcloth would make great fabric for a slipcover. Oh- pick me - but do you ship to Canada?????
ReplyDeleteDon't put me in the drawing 'cause all we'd ever use a drop cloth for is a drop cloth.
ReplyDeleteI'm just not clever like you other gals are.
I LOVE the pillow!!! I am partial to the one with one button more than to the one with 5.
I like the 5 buttons... Beautiful pillow!
ReplyDeleteI just recovered extra dining room chairs with a drop cloth...IF I had another, I would make a window treatment with it (and might even copy you "pleats")
It truly is amazing what you can do with a dropcloth! I guess I am in the minority, I like the pillow with just the one button...it puts more focus on the pleats and that's what I think is so awesome on the pillow. I could only dream of making a dropcloth into a pillow as gorgeous as this...let alone slipcover furniture!

HI Brenda!
ReplyDeleteLOve that pillow...and I would like to make some of those for myself asn as gifts. I love the one button simplicity. SO little, yet such a statement. I would also love to make some curtains using a drop cloth.
Thanks for linking up to Tales from Bloggeritaville!

Hi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow, I love the ruffle and I love it with one or five buttons... but if I had to chose I would go with one button.
I am already planning (I emphasize planning...I haven't started the project yet) to make a window treatment out of a dropcloth.
You have been such an inspiration with using this material.

Found your wonderful blog today! Love all your dropcloth ideas especially the fabulous chaise lounge slipcover & the rosettes on the lamp shade ~ so creative!
ReplyDeleteI like the single button pillow best, but I love the pleats. It's almost unexpected!

That pillow is gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing it. I love the buttons too.
ReplyDeleteI am simplifying my life - after a bout in June with a serious illness - I took a reality check on what's important and I'm decluttering to the sleek, simple look - gone are the dust collectors (except the meaningful treasures of course!) here are the soothing tones and basic cloths - what perfect theme but a drop cloth! And - I am going to try to have an ottoman done in the same!!! Girl that can't sew a stitch but appreciates those who do...Jennifer
ReplyDeleteWho knew you could do so many things with a dropcloth. I like your Nesting project.

My gosh girl can you create with dropcloths. I love the pillows, five buttons or one. Either way they are wonderful. I cannot wait to try the rosettes. Thank you for showing us how.
