Mary Makes...: Upholstery Week
http://maryrooney.blogspot.com/2013/11/upholstery-week.html
Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. Sunday, November 10, 2013. This week I am upholstering about 11 items! I have 5 Ethan Allen dining chairs that I took on as a side job. Then I have 2 pair off of side chairs, a sofa, and a prayer kneeler ("prie-dieu"). I am now an expert on double welting, thanks to a new Bernina welting foot! Posted by Mary Rooney.

Mary Makes...: May 2013
http://maryrooney.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. Sunday, May 12, 2013. Boy, it is about time to make a new post! I just got asked to be in Into The Woods at Arizona Broadway Theatre, and since I am publishing this blog address in my bio, I figure I had better keep it active! Who knows, maybe someone will actually READ it some day! The harp.before the muslin coating. Posted by Mary Rooney. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. So Many Sites To Love.

Mary Makes...: Crafts
http://maryrooney.blogspot.com/p/crafts.html
Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. I crocheted this fun Hedgehog from a pattern I got at Tempe Yarn and Fiber. Des and I made a Corn Hole bean bag game for a fundraiser for Breast Cancer. The bean bags were regulation weight, but took me forever to figure out the shape! Some wares at a craft fair I did. I can't decide to call the crafts "Mish Mash M'Lou" or "M'Lou Roo". Any ideas? Here are some crafts I have been churning away when NOT at work. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mary Makes...: Trailer Trash
http://maryrooney.blogspot.com/2013/09/trailer-trash.html
Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. Sunday, September 8, 2013. Once again, more time than I planned between posts! We just opened "The Great American Trailer Park Musical" at ABT. I got to add my mark in the form of set dressing with pink flamingos, weeds and a satellite dish. The center trailer spins, and inside is a treasure trove of nick nacks. I will post those later. (I hope! The Gartsecki's trailer that spins. Full stage shot.final dress rehearsal. Posted by Mary Rooney.

Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. Sunday, May 13, 2012. My friend Stacey Gordon asked me if I could make some costumes for her Old Time Photo Studio in Virginia City Montana. The one below pays homage to Downton Abbey. Nickela is my model. It is so much fun making these clothes! I just wish I had more time to make a ton more! Check out Stacey's Photo Shop website:.

Mary Makes...: Washing fleece
http://maryrooney.blogspot.com/2015/03/washing-fleece.html
Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. Saturday, March 14, 2015. My Method of washing my Cotswold fleece:. I thought I had better record the way I have been washing my Cotswold fleece, so I don't forget. Of course, it seems that once I establish something, I go and change it, anyway, so it may not matter! Fill tub with water from hose. Sometimes I add handfuls the dirty stuff. Here it is just put into the tub. And last time I found a GIANT water roach in it when I poured it out. GROSS!

Mary Makes...: Props
http://maryrooney.blogspot.com/p/props.html
Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. I make props all day. Here are some that I had fun doing. I will try and post more when I get time. These bathtubs: I had to buy them from South Valley Recyclers for our New Year's Eve Gala. We spiffed them up and put them in our lobby for a Speakeasy Theme. We filled them with empty bottles of liquor. I just love the photo. The parasol is from My Fair Lady.I think I did nine of them to match the Ascot costumes. I LOVE making fake food! My new Cricut...

Mary Makes...: FIBER!!!
http://maryrooney.blogspot.com/2014/01/fiber.html
Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. Sunday, January 26, 2014. No, not eating it.spinning it! I am finally getting around to spinning the Leah's first shearing. Since Rachel and Leah (we did not name them) are going to have to get their hairs cut soon, I thought (well, darling hubby thought) I had better get stuck in to doing something with the first batch! I washed a bunch of Leah (the white) and have been carding it and spinning it. I can't wait until I have a full skein!

Mary Makes...: April 2012
http://maryrooney.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Flailing through life, trying to be clever and crafty. Thursday, April 5, 2012. What I learned today. I learned: MAKE A BETTER BOX! We hastily tried to scrape some up and save it. Then I used Corroplast (corrigated plastic like they use in yard signs) to build a better box. Then I used duct tape for the ratchet and taped the box completely around it! The result was that the mold finally worked but I have a weird and huge GLOB of cured rubber I don't know what to do with! I start to pour, and SCREECH!
