Renewed Chairs

Feeling loads better today even though I had a terrible sleep due to last night's wicked windstorm.  It sounded like a freight train was going by, or at times, maybe even coming through the house.  This attack went for several hours from shortly after 11pm and dying down sometime after 2:30am.  I didn't sleep a wink in those hours, but could only imagine the damage that it could possibly be causing outside.  I was especially worried about the greenhouse.  It's been incredibly cold today and so I haven't done a proper walk about the yard, but it seems everything is fine. I had to reset some things by the front door, but nothing was damaged.  Poor Bear though!  He sure got his tail in a knot when that wind came up.  Todd braved the winds and took him to the shop where he spent the rest of the night.  He wasn't all that eager to come out this morning either.  But it is sunny, and so he has spent most of his day lying on the deck out of the wind, but fully in the sun. I'll make it up to him soon with the much, much warmer weather that is on its way.

 

I decided, quite suddenly that it would be a good day to recover out pathetic living room chairs.  It was easy and not done properly.  I like safety pins, and didn't have enough material, (at least I don't think I did) to do a proper job.  Temporary is fine by me.  Really, we need new furniture.  Anyway, here is Sooty helping out.  He thought it was awesome fun.

 

I really like the blue, and the fabric was free from Aunt Annette's old stash. Also, it will match the couch covers that I will put back on closer to spring. So other than untidy finish, I'm happy with them.  It's a helluva lot better than constantly straightening blankets anyway.  Hopefully it's not too difficult to keep up with the cat hair.
