Better all get your seditives....

So, I had this great idea to take these two old chairs that were office chairs in Bill's old office years ago and give them a make over. How hard could it be right?

So I took them all apart and took lots of pictures since I don't trust my memory. Then I sanded the wood part and spray painted it a matt black out in the back yard. That was the fun part. Aren't paint sprays fun? And you should see the colors they come in now. I was blown away but I still wanted black.

Bought some fabric and the fun began. Took me forever to cut out the fabric using the old stuff as a pattern. I think it took about 3 or 4 TV shows and I had company at the same time. I need new pins, mine were tiny little things. Actually, I don't think I want to encourage this kind of thing.

Voila! Look how snazzy they are. They went together pretty good. Not perfect but good enough for me and I was so glad I didn't ditch the chairs. They will look so nice in our new house.

And mom, you have ruined me, did you notice that they match?  It's a sickness I know but I just had to do it. All I could hear was your little voice in my head telling me to make sure and match them. So I did.

See, they match pretty good eh mom? I actually still need to screw the seats and backs back on but I need my carpenter for that and his drill, but you get the picture.  So, bye bye sewing machine for the forseeable future. The old thing came through again,( the machine, not me all you wise guys out there).

This week is moving week, pray for sunny weather here, strong backs and calm nerves. Love you all.
