Our Sunday Morning - New Seating

My parents recently returned from a trip down south and came home with a lovely new chair for Lil C. It's darling, but we just have to help C see that it's chair and not something that's scary. The first time he sat in it, he sunk back and that scared him, so he has yet to return. Once his wee friends sit in it, i'm sure he'll love it again!

It's a hand-made replica of the original Alcapulco chair, made also in Mexico where my parents had this hand-made version made. Notice how Martha Stewart's Living magazine also featured it recently?
It's very fitting beside our new Womb chair. Of course, it's not an original but we won't ever be able to afford one, but we just love the design and the name is so fitting. C and i love to cuddle in it daily, to read, snack, nurse, cuddle, cry, laugh, and more.

New Office Chair Cushion

We recently renovated our second bedroom aka J's study/my closet/guest bedroom and with the new changes, i had to make a chair cushion for the second desk chair. Since i love to match, i used fabric i had already that had hues of orange, brown, and yellow. Added for Steph: The main fabric is an old sheet that i got at Value Village. I've used it a lot - for a bag, a pillow, place mats, etc. The top piece is an old quilt square that i cut down to this circle shape. I just sewed the quilt square to the main fabric, added ties to the back, and voila!

I just wish my work office chair could have such an adorable cushion - after a long day of sitting (though i several chairs depending on my clients' seat preference), my, ahem, tailbone hurts when i get home!
