We went out east for 9 days and got reenergized. Now it is time to get some work done. We drug everything out of our basement and threw away, gave away, gifted away and consolidated. Now our basement is orderly. What a great feeling! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my label maker. It is addictive, really.
We also baked some dark chocolate chip cookies. Have you ever seen such perfectly round cookies? My six year old son made them. Sickening. Really. My son wants to be a pizza man when he grows up or a chef (said with a lisp, too cute). I kid you not, when we go to Goodwill, his favorite section is the kitchen utensils.
I have been wanting to put some kind of bench at the end of our bed. Here is a before and after. I took 3 layers of fabric off. The fabric I chose to recover with happens to be very similar to the oldest layer found on this vanity bench. It fits perfectly. It only took a couple of hours and I learned a new skill! The webbing on this bench had seen better days. I used my 40% coupon and bought new webbing. I had some left over muslin from previous project to layer over the old stuffing and a new layer I added to freshen it up. I am pleased over all.
