rocking chair...

the Alzheimer's auction is coming up at work for the alzheimer's association.  i found a smaller rocking chair at goodwill that seemed like a good thing to cover with cheese stickers and donate for the silent auction.  last year i donated 2 bags and they both sold, so hopefully someone will want the chair.  i'm really looking forward to seeing how much it sells for if it sells.  i have absolutely no idea what something like this would sell for, so it will be good to get some kind of idea.
it's a smaller rocking chair, not really small child sized, but a little bigger:


so i went through a ton of cheese stickers, organizing them (because they are everywhere, in no order...so annoying) to find what colors i had enough of to cover the chair.  i wanted really contrasting colors.  i ended up on red stickers from one company along with two different shades of gold from the another company.  and a super cute large sticker for the middle of the seat!

making stickers go around curved edges is super fun.  there's lots of slicing and sticking...

i could have sworn i took more pics of my working on the chair, but i guess not.  but you get the idea...

and the finished product!!


i really hope it sells and it brings a good price for the alzheimer's association.  along those same lines, i'm participating the 2011 Walk to End Alzheimer's in september.  here is the link to my donation page if you would like to donate any moolah for the walk.  i only need to raise $100, so please help out if you can!!

then i cut out the pieces:

and a couple hours later:
you can't tell, but the plaid has a little sparkly red thread running through it.  so cute!
