The weekend projects turned out good even with the crappy weather. Probably because of the crappy weather. My upholstery class is going well. I almost finished 1 chair and 1 ottoman. I have another chair that's coming along nicely. Only 4 weeks to go to finish 3 chairs, and an ottoman.

My on-the-side projects are moving along quite nicely. I recovered a small bench with scrap material left over from my 3 chairs The fabric is two-tone green with subtle vines. well since I didn't feel like wasting another yard, just for the pattern to face the right way. So instead of "growing" up the bench it moves from side to side. You wouldn't even know it unless someone pointed it out. The little arms, do look odd. THe vines are "growing" to the side as well and since the arms are so short, it's hard to tell what the pattern is.

The second project was more involved. It was an gold painted iron-worked ugly pink fabric chair. Pretty ugly all around...good thing it was free. Well it had these buttons sewn on it. So I was experimenting with fabric button making. It actually turned out very cute. I don't mind the gold much any more.

It's a pain to remove staples, but it's worth it to save 2 chairs.

I have 3 bar stools to do. They're now just flat black and they show all the dust, spots, and manage to get every white fuzzy in the house. Those'll be in the same green. The green will be everywhere.
