A dear lady I know in town had a ton of yarn she didn't want, and one day after seeing my princess peas hat asked if I would love to go through it and get what I want out of it!! I said sure how much are you asking per roll? Lady: oh you can just have all you want!
Me: omg that is so amazing thank you!!!
Lady: oh and I have fabric you can go through also
Me: I'm in heaven!
Anyways these are two of the huge spools of yarns I picked out they are so bright and pretty and princess pea is madly in love with anything bright and beautiful ( kinda like her momma) so hopefully buy the end of the day or tomarrow my project will be done and you can see!!!!

We all know the drill...................


Suppah momma says it the best, Why bother spewing verbal vomit when you can sum it all up in one neat little post it note?

I took the back cushion off and applied twine instead ( a buck for a roll of 100 ft at target dollar racks) then redid the cushion in the blue flowered material!! I love it now only 3 more to go!So these chairs were my grandma's, and at first glance I didn't see any potential in them what- so- ever!! Then one my second go around I was enlightened!! How I love them now!
