Your creative blaming of the month for being short is cool, tho! The chair redo fabric is great--maybe you can just say all the words on the fabric instead of swearing?

The chair will look great, just tell DH that the money you saved by DIY meant you could afford to spend a bit extra on the fabric! <br />Lists are a guide, not a death sentence or a failure if you don't achieve them - its just a goal to strive for - like the Olympics...if we were all remotely athletic, which I am definitely not ;)! And remember she who dies with the most fabric wins...so if you didnt finish it, it still counts as being stash and you might "win" in the end!!!

Real life just gets in the way too much. There's really no blog fodder in working a 40 hour week (which I have way too many of lately) instead of being able to sew a little. After work, there's still all the household stuff and kids to take care of. I've been fitting in what sewing I can. It is way less that I want it to be but really more than I have time for. Since I know this is the way things are, it just makes sense that no matter how ambitious I'm feeling, about 2:00 every afternoon, I'm going to want to have a nap. On the weekends, sometimes I do, instead of sewing. But enough about me.<br /><br />I LOVE that fabric you picked for the lounge chair re-do! When you showed it last month, I wasn't sure it was going to work, but now I see it on the chair, I think it will be fabulous!<br /><br />Those superhero quilts are so much fun and I love the fabrics you picked for the baby quilt.<br /><br />Good luck with your fabric arts endeavors this month! May the quilting muses be with you!<br /><br />xo -E<br /><br />P.S. There is a little tool that a guy from Utah invented for putting tacks into and removing them from quilting frames. I'll bet it would work on your chair. If you want, I can have a look around and see if I can find one for you.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-50545437804692731582013-03-10T09:02:44.647+10:302013-03-10T09:02:44.647+10:30Getting ready for a nana nap .. then some bag maki...Getting ready for a nana nap .. then some bag making.
