Do any of you watch the show American Pickers on the History channel? Well it has become one of my favorite shows. It's just two guys driving around looking for junk they can buy, restore and then re-sell. I love it! So I have gotten this bug, The American Picker bug that is. I am constantly looking on craigslist and driving by garage sales trying to find anything unique. I even have my dad going with me. He has the bug too! Then last Tuesday I happened to see a post on craigslist for two children's rocking chairs that were handmade. They were pretty gross, ugly brown, wobbly for 20$. They even came with free bird poop! So my dad and I drove down to pick them up and even talked the guy down to 15$. My dad had to talk him down even if it was just five bucks! We took them home and got to work. I thought this would be a good start. Small and simple! I'm sorry I didn't get a before picture but we got straight to work and I didn't think about it till later. This was also my second attempt sewing. I am really starting to like sewing. I already have another project I'm working on. 
Here is the fabric I chose. Chase helped pick out the dinosaur print so I can't take all the credit.
Here they are. Cleaned, Painted with sewn cushions! Now what to do with them?
