quick change

I really love these wicker chairs that I have in my family room because they not only look good, but they are super comfortable.

But I was ready for a change in colors and also ready to switch out the back cushion ~ I never liked the shape of it (really, the problems I have, right??)

I can sew.  But when I say that, I mean I can sew a straight seam (ie curtain panels).  So when it comes to upholstery/ seat cushions with piping, I call in the pros.

In this case, that means contacting my uber-talented neighbor & friend Susan.  She took these chairs from the above picture to this… (sorry for the terrible iphone pic)

… in less than a week.  {let me know if you live in the area & want her contact information!  she is fabulous & reasonable!}

LOVE them!!!

You can also see a peek of the new curtains (that I did myself, with the aforementioned straight seems) in the background.  As soon as I finish the room up, I'll share more pictures.

In other news, my 7 year old has an injured growth plate in his ankle:

Big bummer, since PE is his favorite subject (aside from recess, of course).  He's on the DL for two weeks & I'm just grateful that its not worse.  He's being a good sport, so far (but its only been 24 hours, so check back!)

And our new, sweet Miss Priss Sissy is getting sweeter by the day…

Playing with Sam constantly:

And trying to convince Sadie that she's not so bad:

I rescued this guy (girl?) from the middle of the road the other day:

Isn't he/she gorgeous???

That's all I've got, folks.  Sorry I'm not more interesting!  It's raining here, which we need badly, so I'm happy to climb into bed early & fall asleep listening to the rain fall.  Bliss.

Have a great day!
