Yes, I'm still here!  It's been a crazy month with three weeks of company, hosting Easter and a party, a teething two year old, a short bout of sickness, half marathon training….etc.  Unless I'm way on top of things, I usually prefer to take time off from the blog when we have company so that I can be fully present.  I never regret it, and this past month was no exception.  A lot of memories were made, and there were new places that we explored.

Today I thought I would share with you a transformation that I can't even take credit for…….rather, my mom is the miracle worker.  We bought these chairs in August with the plan to recover them.  It didn't take long before I realized it was a sewing job and not a reupholstery job…..so that fun reupholstery class I was planning on taking would be useless.  I found some old couch covers as a temporary fix and attempted to dye them grey and ended up with purple (awesome).  In February I was faced with a deadline I needed to have them done by (more on that later), and I was feeling overwhelmed with my sewing skills not being where they needed to be.  My mom came to the rescue and offered to recover them for me.  Just so you know how awesome she is……I actually mailed the original green covers and she took them apart for measurements and mailed me the new covers without even seeing the chairs.
