To cushion, or not to cushion...

I'm recovering my cushions...wish me luck! It's a rather slow process since I'm doing it without a pattern, and I'm wingin' it while trying to conserve material. I bought all that was left, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be close. I'm also not going to use a zipper, but rather velcro. As we know, I'm a perfetionist, so I need the cushion to look nice seam wise...so I'm in no rush. I'm doing this the right way! I have no before pics, but look for my completed pics...eventually! ;-) Photobucket

Project 365+1

So,I'd mentioned a new project I was working on. And this is it, someone I met recently challenged me to do that which I love again. While I was thinking about how I could keep myself motivated to do so, I came across the idea of the project 365. Knowing me, I need to announce my intentions so I'm held accountable! It's a psych-out because I don't even require people calling me out on when I don't follow through. But this challenge is three fold, one my new year's resolution, two a way to improve my photo skills, and three to force myself to get my computer fixed. As it stands now, I'm posting from my phone or my kindle fire (thanks bro) ! I'm waiting for laptop parts to be shipped to me...until then, my photos will be limited to cell phone pics or those I can upload from mom's computer. So far, I've not been very good at keeping up with my posts, those I have been snapping pictures, I can assure you! Photobucket

New life!

Trying to get my garden really growing. This is sooo slow growing...but I am enjoying it for sure. If only I can get my beast of a dog to stop eating my bulbs. Currently, I've got two clematis growing...and some Peruvian daffodils are starting to show their faces. Oh oh and some stargazer lilies too. Those are my faves! Anyone who wants to win me over only need bring me those beautiful lilies! Grow little flowers grow! Photobucket
