Back to Work, Halle.

Here is the latest chair and ottoman that have hit my Etsy store.

This chair and ottoman are perfect for a reading corner, by the fireplace, or in a bedroom.  I found the cute little shelf at the thrift store two days ago.  I almost left it there.  Glad I didn't.  Looks like I need to make some more books.

I am in the process of making a brown vinyl sofa that looks like leather.  I wanted to introduce the two pieces at the same time, but the sofa fabric is giving me a HARD time.  I am ready to strangle it.

On previous similar chairs, I attached the back pillow.  I decided not to on this one.  That makes the piece suitable for the taller fashion dolls, too.  

Here I wanted to show what a Barbie sized doll looks like sitting in the chair without the ottoman. 

My energy level the past couple of weeks has been really high.  I'm taking advantage of that and trying to create as many items as I can, and do as many stories as possible.  Just thought I'd give you a little warning.  I am currently working on two new sofas.  One is a totally new design that I am so excited about.

  5. Great chair and ottoman set! I'm having a hard time deciding on a color scheme for a commissioned item, so I think I'll wait to see what you have in the works before putting in my request for a custom order.

    1. Rosemary Hill - Thanks! I think I will just finish the one I am working on for my dolls, and start over for the one to put in the store. I think my dolls are sabotaging this project so they can have a new sofa.

  7. Glad to hear you have got your energy back. Don't overdo it though, we want you around for a long time. I hope you can get the brown vinyl to do what you want and not what it wants. (A teflon foot can help if it is sticking while you are sewing.)

    1. Carrickters - Thanks. I am really doing a lot better physically. I think my energy increases with each project I get finished. I really think my dolls have something to do with these sofa problems. They know the only way they get new furniture is when I mess up something that was meant for the store.

    For those of you who are wondering about the quality of the furniture...they are awesome! The pictures here does it NO justice. I have purchased a few of her furniture items and I absolutely am still in love with them all. You will be glad that you made the decision. This is not a paid advertisement, Lol!

    1. Muff - Thanks. I am such a fabric addict. I love finding beautiful fabrics in the right scale for the fashion dolls. Now if I could just get them all on furniture pieces instead of just sitting in my workshop.

    1. Cindi - Thanks! I am learning that not all vinyl is created equally. I have used vinyl before without any problems, but this is a different animal. I think it will help me improve my techniques because the old ones aren't working. Either that or it will end up on the shelf just being nice to look at.
