using the retro camera app. when i first got this i used it non-stop, but have managed to restrain myself a bit lately.
i love the vibrancy of these flowers:
the cookbook and dog biscuit shelves:
productivity is slowing down a bit as i get ready for a visit from my parents, but hopefully soon i will have trip photos to share.

chair covers
i had been planning on covering these chairs with a neutral linen-y type fabric. but then, when faced with all of the choices at the fabric store, these were the two which spoke to me. i think when i post a picture of the finished chairs with the dining table and rug, it will be obvious why. sometimes you just have to let things happen as they want to, i guess. no use forcing decorating decisions.

this and that
the first quarter of my simple pullover using the madelinetosh vintage "cove." knitting is so therapeutic. i felt completely crappy last night but managed to knit several rows, despite my eyes involuntarily closing every few minutes. and i felt better for doing it.
this is what my work table looks like in the middle of a number of projects and endless planning.

thrift store chairs, again
chairs for the dining room table, because we're getting desperate. i had been thinking of getting clear acrylic chairs, but have decided to go the mismatched, thrift store route. i just like chairs, what can i say? why have them all the same, when you can have sweet, sweet variety?
in the sanding process. uncertain whether to paint or leave as is. i think they're made of fir, and i kind of like that. but they are fairly messed up. will finish sanding and then decide.
p.s. the colors on your monitor are as bright as they appear. our house really is that color. no one can call this house gloomy.

Thrift store score
today i found the perfect sewing chair at the goodwill. i love the scuffs that are evidence of it being well-loved and used, and how sturdy it feels. it's a heywood-wakefield, which explains how well-made it is. and all of that satisfaction for $4.99. there's really nothing like a good day at the goodwill.
