first project... not really.

this one did not involve sewing. my kitchen chairs were sooooo yucky! they had all kinds of stains, from food and drink to playdoh to paint... you name it. no matter how hard i tried to keep them clean, i just couldn't. oxyclean did a great job a few times, but i decided enough is enough. oh well! stains are a part of life with kids! ;-)

so, i decided to recover them. i went to hobby lobby and found a pretty fabric and used my 40% off coupon. one and half yards and $20 later, i have this. voila!!!



i love how they look. the gold in the fabric matches the wood coloring. hopefully they will look this great for a while.

here's a picture of my little helper at work. she loved hammering the staples into the cushions! i stapled and she hammered. sweet girl... she asked me if she could put a towel over her chair this morning. when i asked why, she said she didn't want to get the pretty fabric dirty. just like her mommy!!




i did sew something the other day. i made emma a tablecloth for her play table... what girl doesn't want a tablecloth for her tea parties, right? photo to follow...
