And then ... the Chair!

It has been awhile since I talked about MOC.

The ORC took over my personal time and the MOC took a speedy stop!  You might recall I had plans to be done by Thanksgiving.  Of 2012.

Happy to announce I am back on track ... and the MOC is once again a focus!

Today ... the Star came home!

She is the last piece of furniture to get an update ... a little styling left and I'll be revealing ... 

All on a trek of mine to "re-create" a space that FEELS like this.

Working on final touches today!

MOC and the FIG

MOC update ... my cushion (Don's cushion) has been covered ... and I had three pillows for the sofa made.  This is one of them, it doesn't fit right, so another is on its' way to go on the back.  It kind of looked NEKKID without it.  

Next up ... the slipcover for the Sofa.  I just haven't pulled the trigger to buy that fabric yet.  20 Yards, it is going to give me a punch I just know it!  Also ... did you see the Fabulous Brass Chest that Kim from Chattafabulous posted here?  Well, I grew up with one of these and now that we are downsizing my Dad ... guess where it is going to come to rest?  Right here in my Sunroom Baby!!

And ... about this FIG ... 

Here are some tips that Louise from StoneGate Gardens passed along ... but I will tell you this.  I water mine about every two weeks ... a really good watering.  And it seems to be pretty happy.  I think it might be one of those plants that does better with a little neglect rather than over watering.  I don't know ... just sayin'!

MOC ... one step at a time.  Getting closer every week! Good luck with all those FIGS out there!!

M.O.C. one step at a time!

Happy Monday Morning my sweet friends!  The weekend here was good!  Friday Night Football, Saturday Morning Soccer, and Fall in the Air.

MOC is on the move ... one slow step at a time!

The Ottoman is IN the house.  And I am loving it.  I am certain the photos cannot do the fabric justice!

Duralee KOMODO fabric, Color ASPEN ... should have been my first clue that I was leaning toward REPTILE!  

Can you feel the subtle REPTILE flowing?

Yes, the Sofa is still there in all of it's gross floral beauty.  It is next.

Just marvel at the beauty of the Reptile!

Have a wonderful week and thank you for continuing to check in ... you are keeping me on TASK.  Which is rather difficult some days!!

MOC Update!

After being gone for about two weeks straight you can imagine being back home was a calming relief.  Until I started looking around at all my half-done projects! I started a little MOC several weeks ago ... I made a commitment to get my sunporch done.  Remember this is where Don and I LIVE!!  And the dogs ... when we first got the puppies everyone thought it was soooo cute when they got up on the furniture.  And they don't really lounge ... they sit and wander around ... NOT relaxing.

Then they got bigger ... I do NOT like sharing a sofa with 200 pounds of Dog.  And that does not include Murphy who lounges on the floor.

This commitment has come with some new rules ... no more animals on the furniture.  They seem to be pretty okay with it ... they do try to sneak back up on occasion!

Now that they are "semi-trained" I am moving forward.  

My inspiration fabrics had a little hiccup.  I love Zimman's in Lynn, Mass ... but you either buy it when you see it ... or cry when you go back and it is gone.  I have been crying.

I chose this for my ottoman.  When I committed and went back ... so sorry ... GONE!!

Plan B ... next up from Duralee

It has a little more shimmer and a more subtle colorway ... I think I am MORE than okay with Plan B.

Then my Inspiration Room Antique Toile ... also found at Zimman's.  Luckily I pulled the trigger on this the first time. 

Of course it has a LION in the print ... and I think there is an elephant as well ... but it went off to my workroom today.  So you will have to wait!  Don's chair has been stripped!! 

 First thing he asked when he came in the door ... what happened to my chair?  Making it better sweet MAN!  I have no idea why there is a football in the chair.

Also pillows to replace THESE ...

I can hear you gasp!  Yes, they are old, flowery, and dirty.  And why I ever chose them I have no idea.  Good thing we can fix these things!!

Fabric for slipcover not purchased yet ... I can only wrap my arms around a couple of things at a time here!

MOC is off the ground!
