Bzzzzzzz......busy as a bee.....

Have you ever started a
project and wondered
"WHAT THE HECK HAVE I STARTED!!"
Well I did just that.
"Oh I would love some cute slipcovers for my couch AND love seat.
I'm sure I can whip those up in no time!"
I lost track of how much time they actually took, but I know we ate dinner with thread and fabric pushed to the end of the table, socks trailing small pieces of fabric and more thread all over the house, for at least a month. No one dared say anything about the mess (so their lives were spared or maybe they really didn't notice-that's not a good sign!), but they eventually got done. It only took about twelve trips to Joanns and Walmart for more thread, more fabric, more velcro, more piping, more, more, more....


A glimpse of the mayhem:

Help! Which way do the stripes go? Dang, cut that one out wrong! Ok, I'll use that for the arms later.

Finally some progress was made.....

And then they were done!! (enter lovely angels singing hallelujah)

Then came some new curtains and rods, and a couple of pictures to go between.

Final living room:

While I had the sewing machine out I decided to slip cover my slipper chairs. I have two of them. They turned out pretty cute!

Now I can vacuum. Tomorrow. If I feel like it. Which isn't likely. (hee hee)

My five favorites of the day...

Who doesn't love a DUCK!!

A "BLUE" door, of course!

My favorite color, BLUE! (how did you know?)

Buttons, in white, of course!

And this just made me LAUGH!!
