I have no excuse for not posting in so long, but once again I think I will try again.  Summer has been wonderful to us so far.  We just returned from the family beach vacation.  I think I might be suffering from too much togetherness.  Yesterday, I was in a terrible mood.  I felt myself approaching my tipping point!  Several projects are almost done, but hubby and the children were insisting we have a cookout and company.  It was all I could do to just be nice.  Please, let me finish my projects.  Not to mention I was exhausted.  It was definitely a "Calgon take me away" moment.  

Sunday afternoon I enjoyed working on this project for my daughter's competition team. They have been using a simple black chair. Simple will never be good enough for the six sassiest little girls I know. This treasure spent two years in my garage. Just a week ago it had no seat and no back. Friends secure new seat and back. Yesterday, I spent the afternoon making it as sassy as possible. After the dance season we will actually use this prop. The chair has a cushion ai will recover in the same bright fabric, but for dance purposes we need a flat surface.
