"New" chairs

Day 4 has passed without my machine.  I'm surviving.  I did bring my old machine up from the basement, but have not plugged it in yet.  I have found that in all my spare time, I am coming up with lots of new projects.  I just have too much time to think about sewing because I'm not sewing.

There has some been some work going on around here though.  I recovered a few more chairs.  I so want to paint these red to match the fabric, but I'm holding back (AKA the hubs asked me not to).  We have moved our twins to boosters and got rid of the high chairs.  That was a glorious day.  The problem though is that we only have three kitchen chairs.  Our little man broke the back off one after pushing it over way too many times, and our table only came with four.  That left the hubs and I chair-less now.  I priced chairs and didn't want to spend $70 on a chair from Target.  We don't really want to buy anything new for a few years since the kids just destroy everything.  The hubs found these at goodwill for $5 each.  They are in pretty good shape, but the seats needed help.  I picked up one of my favorite fabrics to match my kitchen curtains.  They will do until we decide it's safe to buy a new table and chair set.

My stack of beautiful blue fabric arrived from Fabric Shack so I'm currently in the planning stages from my Modern Quilt Guild Challenge quilt.  I got a lot more excited after sorting my fabric based on my design.  It's going to be a bit out there, but I think it will work.

I might have to do a bit of sewing this afternoon just to make sure I don't get out of practice.  I think I'll spend some time on the World of Goo.  I stopped by Joann's the other day to pick up some more Kona Ash because I'm almost out.  They raised their prices to $7/yd!  I hear price hikes are coming for all cotton fabric though.  Another good reason for a fabric diet.
