The little black stool project

The stool was on the list I made earlier in the week: I was to sand it and paint it. I did that and then decided I wanted to make a pillow cover for it. The fabric is an old April Cornell tablecloth. I cut and sewed it by hand, because I didn't want to read the directions to my sewing machine yet again. It has a feather filling from an old pillow. I wouldn't want anyone examining it too closely, but as "art" projects go, I'm happy with it.

This stool is in my bathroom so I can sit when I dry my hair and put on my make-up. I love it.

    You domesitic diva. And now I will ask this back to you: Is there anything you can't do?

    I love sitting down when I do my make up and hair. Yay for accomplishing goals!

    HOORAY! It's Gorgeous! Man, can I get something awesome like that done?!

    Here's to sitting on something more comfortable in the bathroom.

    what does it say about me that when I read your title I thought you were going to talk about an entirely different kind of bathroom stool?

    this one is better.

    I'm impressed you sewed by hand. I try to limit hand sewing to leap year.
