Guinea pig games - going for gold

I attempted my own last year, and that darn thing is now banished to a spare room that no one goes in because it's lumpy and horrific. I might just give it another shot now! That's neat how you were able to use freezer paper to make the print on the footstool! Great job:. I love it now! Great job and the graphic tops it off perfectly!! Nice work! This is lovely!! I bet you kind of hate to put your feet on it! Thanks so much for coming out to the party at Clean and Scentsible.

I'll be featuring it on my Facebook page. Enjoy the rest of your week! Jenn :. Love the transformation! It turned out great Jeanna dramaqueenseams. Where did you get your fabric?

I just love the vintage look to the top! Thanks for sharing with the Pink Hippo Party! I'm pretty proud of myself for getting so much done. One of my favourite things was recovering a small footstool we have. This stool was a gift from my aunt and I use it all the time. It sits under my desk and I prop my feet up so that my legs are at a more comfortable angle. It's a cute stool, very padded, but the fabric colours don't suit my taste any more. So off with its head!

No really, everything stayed in place and I just covered over it. Sneak peek. And there you have it. Wasn't that simple? And now my stool has a new life. I'm linking up here this week!

Work was brutal - I found a huge mistake in my report that I'd worked on all day at pm today and had to fix it before leaving.

It took until , and that was going at triple-speed. My mousing hand is still cramped. I'll leave you with this cutie-pie - doesn't he just make you melt?

I'll catch an event here and there, and I'll read recaps on the internet, but that's about the extent of my interest. I don't even own a sweatshirt commemorating the Olympics being held in my own country in Call me unpatriotic, I can take it. However , I could be talked into buying one of these calendars.

And I'm allergic to guinea pigs so that's saying a lot. The Guinea Pig Games - Going for Gold calendar was created by Maverick Arts Publishing and was created using a combination of real guinea pig models and digital shenanigans. The guinea pigs were borrowed from Palace Piggies Rescue centre, and Maverick Arts provided them with a donation in exchange for their help.

Paul Cocken is the image creator and retoucher. The pictures are so sweet! Guinea pigs always look so shocked at what they're seeing. Like my grandma when my aunt accidentally rented Eddie Murphy's Raw for her. Are you excited about the Olympics? What are your favourite events to watch? Will you watch them live no matter what time they air? Do you collect memorabilia? Posted by Barb Turtles and Tails 4 comments:.

Jul 23, Blue Light Special. This past weekend we decided to do absolutely nothing. How often do you do that? For us, almost never. There is always something waiting to be done. But we ignored it all and just relaxed. Tom napped in the hammock for hours, and I read an entire book.

We did manage to fit one little project in though. Something just for fun.
