IT'S CAMOUFLAGED!

Here is the almost finished upholstery job we did!  This is a child's sized kids recliner that has gone through all of the kids but it looked too loved.  My Mom volunteered us to do the job!  It is going to look good but it isn't what I would call a bundle of fun!  

I was whooped with all of the bending so had the great idea of working with it on the table!

We started with two yards of fabric and a plan...I chalk out the pieces to be sure all of them will fit before I commit to cutting.

Here is the before pic of the chair!  I do the math to measure all of the units then draw them out.  The job went well enough until we needed the staple gun and my Dad's old one didn't work so we borrowed my brother-in-law's (he lives next door) and he brought up one for us.  Un fortunately, that one was a dud, too!  The project cannot be finished today so I will leave it for my two nieces, who are handy with tools, to finish what I started!  

 

CUSHION FASHION

I ordered enough fabric to cover all the cushions

 on the table and lounge chairs.

Two done!

Two to go!

Two chairs done and four to go!  I have all the measuring down, so it is a simple task to sew down one end and the side, turn right side out, stuff the old cushion in the tube

 and then stitch up the other end!!!! 

 (Though it is a bit like stuffing spaghetti uphill 

to get the old cushion in the tube! lol)

And just to prove I do spend some time in the kitchen-here is some French bread I made

to go with the fresh stuffed peppers! 

 I have found a way to work with the headache--I am down for an hour and can be up for an hour, off and on all day with longer down time and shorter up time as the day goes on!

  At least I'm up for a lot more time than last week!!!
