Family


Today i have actually been out and mixed with humans ,!! i live in the country and very content to be around the homestead all week ... anyway let me explain .. Jax is my niece , but more like my little sister , lives about 14 miles away .we get together and craft and have a girlie catch up . Jax has these chairs[dining] that needed the seats recovering [hubby hates them ] ..knowing this i took my trusty staple gun with me ,well just in case ... some thick ticking fabric was the chosen fabric and i set about the job, halfway through i let her into a secret ..Jax i have never done this before...she thinks i can do anything ..well i pulled it off , and the second was much easier i had a ball and shes happy too and for a first time not bad ,they look contemporary instead of frumpy...and i think Her hubby wont be taking them to the recycle center after all ..

Good Times
