before and after chair

The chair in a minute but first this is the picture of the sound board I covered and put some of my race numbers on.  I have kept most of them.  I saw a picture in a magazine once of a Doctor's office that had an entire wall covered with race numbers ....I will never have that many but I thought it was a great idea.  I even have my ribbons hanging there. 

These are some pictures my mother had of my sister and I.   these frames  were originally painted gold.   I  got out my trusty can of white spray paint and  repainted them.  I have them on a wall in my new swing room.   Can you guess which one I am?

remember this old chair?   They had it at work..... oh for about 50 years.  It was very dirty and broken.  My boss said I could have it   so it was free.   Don't you  love free?     I removed the arms and recovered it in a black and white damask that I found at Joann's for 50% off.  I also had a coupon for 10% off your total purchase ....wooohoo  Total cost $15.

I had a little fabric left over from my pressing table . so  I made a little pillow .

Love this fabric!!!!

Closer look at the pillow before I put the button on it.  I put some black rick-rack around it , but I wish now I would have used ball-fringe.

I have been doing some sewing but not as much as I would like.  I have had this decorating bug lately.  You know how you do one room and then then you just want to keep going?  That is how I have been feeling.   I had planned to run the Top of Utah Marathon on the 17th,  but I have injured my piriformis muscle.  What is that  you say ?  lets just say it is a pain in the but...literally.  I am not giving up though,   I am going to take it easy for a while and then start training for the Ogden Utah marathon in May.   Until then I have a lot of sewing to do.
