Saturday projects

My project for the day was to begin re-upholstering our kitchen chairs. Keep in mind that we just purchased this table set in September. The original cover is a beige and brown pattern and shows every little drop, dribble and spill. The fabric I selected was a little tricky because it had a particular pattern that had to be centered on the seat. I thought the design went well with the swirl of the iron on the chair.

Meanwhile, Jeff was working with a neighbor at building a gate between our two houses. The Griffin children have taken quite a liking to this family because they have three daughters who are pretty much the same age as our kids. Our backyard fence shares a portion with their fence and almost daily someone is climbing over it for a playdate.
