You Capture – Colors

By Beth
Jan 28, 2010

Hi friends!

Did you have some luck capturing colors?  I guess I did except I did not make it outside because of all of the freezing temperatures and whatnot.

So, I looked indoors and I did find some color.

I found this color photo at my daughter’s birthday party. *cupcakesmadefromscratch.*

A few hours before the party I decided to reupholster our barstools, they looked like someone had dropped ice cream, chip dip, milk and Dr. Pepper all over them.  Oh wait….that is what happened to them.

So, rather than buying new barstools, my sister and I headed to the fabric store and bought the most beautiful fabric ever.  The only thing that would make me happier is if I knew how to turn this fabric into a beautiful tablecloth.  But that requires a sewing machine and not a staple gun so I guess I’m out of luck.

and of course you can’t have a party without sprinkles, can you?  You can? Oh.

    I was wondering if my computer is just being weird or if the mclinky thing has disappeared. Does anyone else have this problem?

    My son would totally agree that it would be NO party unless sprinkles were involved. He is a sprinkle freak! LOVE the colors… I miss that kind of color in my home. My hubby is all earth tones. My bathroom is the only colorful room in the house (brick red and I love it)I really love your chair fabric! Very cool.

    Hi Beth. I was a little busy today, and didn’t get a chance to look at the contributors to today’s post. Would you be able to put them up again? I’d love a chance to see everyone’s colors! =)

    Gorgeous fabric! I tried to make curtains out of something similar once. I should mention I don’t sew either. It did not go nearly as well as your barstools.

    Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter!
    You pictures are fantastic, I’m a big fan of the fabric as well. I can definitely see making a few throw pillows out of it.

    You did find the most beautiful fabric! One of these days, I’d love to redo our seat cushions. Right now we have the cushions that always slide off our chairs . . . maybe I’ll go thrifting for some barstool ones. Anyway, love the colors. Love the photos! I especially like the sprinkle photo, how the color pops out.

    Oh, I have trouble too! I am signed up for Mr. Linky, but didn’t find You Capture as one of the choices…

    I love your fabric–and the cupcakecake makes me smile.

    One time I turned a piece of fabric into a beautiful tablecloth. I just asked my mother-in-law to do it :-) She did a great job and we actually used it on my daughter’s first birthday.
