Seriously, nothing going on here today but working on my latest WIP, which should be fun today because I’m working with Evan, a very complex, gifted man with a bad streak worse than Trent. Mmmm. Yummy.
But I had a chance to get into the yard on Saturday, and so cleaned up the view out my office window. Looks much better, and Guy and I put up an oriole feeder. It’s a bit of a contest in the area where I live to attract the orioles. This is my second year trying, and I’m going for it this spring with more than a sliced orange. I’m going in with grape jelly! -laugh-
Sunday was rain, so I worked inside recovering the one-dollar pillows I bought on sale last fall at a home improvement store. I’d been watching another store I frequent for their reupholstery samples to go on sale to use to recover them, and Saturday I found them cheap, cheap, cheap! Guy and I picked out five neutral panels for the backs, and five exciting panels for the front, and I spent the day with my sewing machine making slip covers. They look really nice along the back of my sofa, and seeing as the fabric I was using ran anywhere from 10 to 35 $ a yard to purchase normally and I got them for a buck, I did pretty well. It keeps me out of the bars, as my dad would say. :-) Three-dollar pillows and an afternoon of movies with Guy–yeah, I can do that.
