Hands down I was through the roof excited for our little miracle when we found out she was on her way.

It’s starting to look pretty now. It’s hard to believe I’m finally getting to add fabric to my chair. It’s been a slow process but it has all been worth it. Adding finish fabric has been the best feeling ever! It’s like starting to get the wonderful feeling of accomplishment, of being on the road to done.

I love taking things that are designed for one thing and using them for a completely different purpose. Old cashew containers for storage jars.
