Patchwork couches

Okay, so I found these squint couches, and knew that I had my new couch. Our couches were gifts a bit over a year ago, and are wonderfully comfortable. But the child wear and tear has really taken it's toll. It's time for a new cover.

Chester okayed a patchwork couch on a more muted scale. The fabric will be in earth-tones, and only the sitting-on cushions will be patchwork. All the rest will be solid.

The fabric came from Wally World. They undercharged me (yes, I called and offered to make it right), so I got 24 yards of heavy twill for $25. Thanks God for providing that one!

Haircutting cape

So Zanna has recently taken up haircutting. I promised her a pair of thinning shears for her birthday, but didn't order them in a timely manner. So a few days before the party, I had this idea -- an ugly-tie haircutting cape! It was a blast to make, and turned out pretty okay. It has a velcro closure, and a collar and a tie. The tie makes it heavy. I guess that's the price you pay for stylin'.

Monster Hoodie Fun

Made Amos a monster hoodie for his birthday. He thought it was "awesome". Yay!
