My Creative Space…

…aka “Crafting for Heavily Preggers Peeps”…

…aka “Don’t try this at home”…

…aka “Craft FAIL”.

So. I “covered” a manky old footstool with some of the left over robot quilt fabric. But…. I didn’t want to sew anything.

So… I glued it on.

Yup.

GLUE. White craft glue, to be precise. Shoulda/woulda/coulda used ModPodge maybe…?

Oh well.

Apart from the air bubbles it looks okay… good enough to stick my sausage feet on anyway!

More (perhaps less half-assed) creative spaces over here.

  8. From someone who used to staple loose hems up I think gluing is a totally acceptable form of craftiness!

    Go put your feet up on the scratchy goodness!

  9. Crafting after your due date is a mighty big pass! I think it looks great :-)

  10. I think I would take the easy way out too, but this most definitely isn't a fail. I love it

  11. Looks pretty good to me - I hadn't noticed the air bubbles till you mentioned them and then I had to go back and look. The colours are lovely.

  12. Hey, if it works - do it! And if it needs fixing later on, easy peasy! It looks great btw!

  13. Fail schmail, all those eye-popping bright colours look fab and I bet your tootsies aren't complaining about any air bubbles:)

  14. I does look nice, though, doesn't it? I always pull of some kind of half-assed craft fail just before I'm due to pop...maybe it's a sign?

  15. Glue or no glue ( and what's wrong with a bit of glue) it looks fabulous Vic! xp

  16. Sewing I can't do... glue I can. Why didn't I ever think of this before. I'm hot-gluing my ottomans this weekend for sure!!!

    Hope your sausages are alright. When I was preggers, my husband called me Frodo. I really did have hobbit feet... x

  17. Looks great, well done, I am off to source a foot stool to cover now!! x

  18. It's gorgeous Vic, and I didn't even notice the bubbles until you pointed them out. Plus once the kid(s) sit on it a couple of times you won't notice anymore (you will be more worried about the dirt marks on it then!). I keep checking in to see if you still here everyday!

  22. You know you're past your due date when gluing fabric to furniture seems like a good idea! :-D

    I've been meaning to do a blog post about my postnatal crafting recommendation - doing your pelvic floor exercises while fusing interfacing or heat setting screenprints.

    My verification word is 'whalo'. Descreibes how you're feeling this week, I'm sure...

  23. i am so about the half-do it properlyness...

    I am impressed you are getting low enough to glue. My floors seem to have a meal for tonight on them! And forget about picking up lego...

    can we have a shot of your ankles please?

    (my feet are currently resting on an inflatable spider, as I have neither the inclination or the glue to make a footstool !)

  24. Gotta love the white glue!
    I know I do.
    I think preggers sausage feet are the funniest and most disgusting things ever. Mine balloon up straight after I've had the bub ans stay like that for a coupla days.
    Enjoy. X

  25. It's cute, it's done and it's bound to make you smile whenever you use it! Faced with having to stitch all those sweet little pieces together and then upholstering it onto the footstool, I think I'd be glueing as well : ) (and I'm not even pregnant!)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh my! I've been there with a glue "perhaps I shouldn't have" moment myself! Yours doesn't come close to my disaster... in fact your foot stool look very decent!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Pretty brilliant effort. My brain was mush when I was pregnant - yours is filled with beautiful creativity!
