So, I love my craft room. I love all the cross stitches and embroidery all over my walls, I love my bookshelf (though that bugger will be painted when it starts getting warmer outside). I love my drafting table for my quilting board, and I love my tiny ironing board.
I hate my sewing table and chair. Whenever I use my sewing machine, my table vibrates. Full out vibrates... Thats what you get when you are using a folding table! My chair is the matching set of the folding table, so as you can imagine it is very uncomfortable.
Whenever I sew, I worry that because of the bouncing, my sewing is not as great as it could be. (so the table is the next thing I need replaced!)
Dad visited yesterday, to fix my non working oven (sigh...) hang a painting, fix my garage door, and my front door. He brought a chair that he found in the next door neighbors garbage. My family dumpster dives. 6 month old vacuum cleaner, that only needed a belt. Valued at $600. Replace the belt, and it works. Why would you turn that down?!?
He brought a beautiful sturdy chair, which really just needed new fabric. So I took care of that today!

| Cute right? The fabric looks iccky though, and I do not allow iccky! |
 |
| Gross right? |
 |
| Took off the cushion, and didnt look too bad, so removed and tossed the fabric, sprayed down the particle board with a bleach mixture to get rid of the decolorations, and let it dry. |
 |
| Cushion looks pretty good, and its squishy! |
 |
| New fabric added and stapled! Not professional, but works for me! |
 |
| My new chair! |

KITTIES EVERYWHERE!

I love it so much! I am glad I got off my tukus to figure it out!

If I didn't have so much stuff, I'd probably be a dumpster-diver. As it is, we buy things off Craigslist all the time because usually it's something silly that needs fixing. Then again, we've thrown out a lot of things that people have picked up off our curb. Whatever works.
