A little about me...

I am a stay-at-home wife with three grown children.  After raising and home-schooling my children, I spent hours on the John Deere wondering, "what's next?"  I had attempted upholstery on my own but had NO clue what I was doing.  So when the vo-tech offered Beginning Upholstery, I signed up.

Current Project

This is my current project.  This will be the last chair of its kind for the time being.  As of now there are 4 complete Indian/Mexican blanket chairs.  I will share the others in future blogs.  This one is for this girl...

Obviously, the one in the middle.  Sorry, husband, but this is a happy photo!  She is the new future daughter-in-law.  I couldn't be happier for my son.  She is a treasure!

Chair # 2

This is a picture I took in Colorado Springs a couple years ago.  There was a summer afternoon thunderstorm and the layers were so beautiful.  This is not a black and white picture, just not much color.  But I can see a green thread, can you?

Chair # 1 and Mr Kitty

This is the first chair I re-upholstered. This is the after picture, the before is down there.   It was a chair I bought at a thrift store years ago and attempted to build a cover for it.  After years of use we moved it to the back porch where it saw lots of life and spiders.  I was contemplating putting it out for big trash day but decided to re-purpose it.   Mr Kitty found the chair quite comfy.

It's a new day.

A new blog, a future new daughter-in-law, it's a good day.  Those two are not equal, and the blog doesn't deserve the same attention as the future daughter-in-law, but they are the highlights of my day.  Each day must have a green thread and today I re-purposed some of my time to make this blog.   What will tomorrow bring?
