First Day

Since this was the first day,  the thing that was the hardest to do was to stop using my laptop. I just did not want to. I was spending a lot of time just browsing and not really doing anything. I think I must have logged on to hotmail and Facebook atleast 30 times just wasting my time and as usual procrastinating. I am sure I am not alone ......what do you think????

Finally I had to mentally kick myself in the a___ and get going. I went down to the basement where RC is and inspected the condition of the cushions. I decided to cut up the fabric of the seat cushion to see if I could use the pad. To my relief the seat pad was in a good condition. So I decided I will use the same pad and proceeded to strip off all the fabric from the pad.

The back cushion however was going to be a problem because that was stuffed with polyster batting. So I decided to leave it alone at this point and concentrate on tackling the seat cushion first.

 I then looked for the right fabric. I have a collection of fabrics stored in my basement for future use. Whenever I go to Walmart or Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts I will buy fabric even if I don't need them. I love fabrics, they inspire me....that is just till I am in the store and once I buy them, I forget about them. To make long story short, I found this beautiful upholstery fabric. Don't know if you can see it in the picture, it is red (my favorite color) and golden in color. It has a hint of olive in the gold. It has a horizontal ribbed texture which I think is really cool.


So basically that is all I did today. I will try to make more effort tomorrow and during the weekend.

A note to anyone following this blog, please feel free to write down your opinions and suggestions. I really need them at this point.
