Fage the Versatile Yogurt





My new Bzzagent campaign : Fage yogurt

This yogurt is very thick and creamy . It is a great accompaniment
to almost anything you can imagine. Mix it with fruits or make a
veggie dip.  Replace higher calorie ingredients with Fage and save
on calories without sacrificing taste.

Have you tried some yet ?

Ottoman redo

 
My ottoman was ripping a little and I was ready for
a different look. I bought a 9x12 drop cloth at Home Depot
for $21. It gave me more than enough fabric. I cut it in half after
ensuring that I would have enough fabric to wrap around it...
and then some . I washed the drop cloth before I started. Make
sure to iron it first if you need to. I tried to iron it after and was
unsuccessful....but then again my ironing skills are lacking ;)
 
 
Here are a few pictures of the process:
 
before:
 
 
 
 
Completely wrapped ottoman.. I tucked and stapled material underneath.
Then made a slit.
 
I cut a hole making sure to keep enough material around the edges to tack down.
I cut the corners like so...There is the wrapped top in the corner of picture.
I cut around the hardware. Tacked and trimmed extra material.
 
After:
 

Not too bad for an amateur, IMHO.
 
Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose !
