I had a bit of left-over burlap from my recent lampshade makeover. I thought I would use it to re-cover a brick doorstop.
Not much to this project, simply add a little cotton batting and wrap the brick with burlap…as if wrapping a gift. I used a dab of hot glue to hold the seams in-place and then, with needle-and-thread, stitched them down to tidy them up.
I scanned a sheep pic into my computer and transferred the image onto muslin. I top-stitched around the sheep with black thread to highlight the image and then simply whip-stitched it to the brick.
And there you have it…never enough sheep… I guess!
This is such a super idea! You come up with the greatest projects–I have done a few of them and enjoyed the results. Your site is a wealth of information and insights, and I find it very inspirational. Someday I hope to visit Sheep Hollow–my husband and I will possibly cycle on our tandem and make a real adventure of it (all the way from Amherst, Nova Scotia.) All the best for a healthy. prospersous, peaceful, contented and blessed year in 2013. Warmest regards, Carol
Thanks Carol! And the very very best to you and your hubby! WOW! If you ever make that trek from Nova Scotia, rest assured, you’ll have a place to stay here! I may even put you to work and have you milk a goat or two…
Now that is cute!
haha…only a sheepie person would like! 😀
