7 Degrees of Blogging

Kind of like the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon.
I find myself in the neatest places sometimes by linking to blogs from other blogs I enjoy.

It was this post by In the Midst of It that lead me to this blog where I found the directions to make this Patchwork Kitchen Mat.

So I spent my day off putting this together. Mine isn't patchwork and I made it much larger, about 3 feet by 3.5 feet, to cover most of the area that seems to get dripped on regularly.

Close-up. I got the fabric on sale at JoAnn last weekend.

Two things came together to create the following.

First a friend of mine showed up with 3 bar stools for me last weekend.

Second I had a bunch of denim fabric leftover from kitchen mat.

The chairs are in great shape except for the yucky purple covers.

Here's the before picture, I tried and tried this pic just would not post straight.

I took the old cover off and cut the remaining denim fabric to cover the base.

Ta, da!

Here's the finished product!


Now I plan to move on to something Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas, depends on what time allows. I hope to try this gingerbread ornament and these ornaments.
