Well yesterday I went into town to get my BOM (quilting Block Of the Month), only to find out that I had the   date wrong.   Next week I can pick it up.  So I looked around the shop anyway.  Big mistake.  NEVER NEVER do this.  I started to think of what "this" would look like in my house and how "that" would look hanging on the wall.  I rationalized just about every project in the store one at a time.  I think perhaps I am building up some will power?  I didn't buy a thing!  WoooHOOO!

Later that night we had to go back to town so Rob could work on our taxes (we finally got his W-2 and our mortgage statement).  So he went to BK to use the WiFi and I went to Walmart.  I still have birthday money that I want to use to buy one of those 5-6 foot tables.  Then I can put my sewing AND Essiah's on it.  Right now I have a sewing cabinet, which is nice but, no where to put her machine.  So it stays in the cabinet, unused.  If I get the table,  I will be getting rid of my cabinet.  If something comes in, something MUST go out!  So far so good.  Anyway!  They didn't have the table.  I'm wondering if I have something else I can use so I don't have to spend money needlessly.  Any suggestions?

I did get some books in for schooling.  So I took some things to Goodwill when I went in.  Now to go through the box of books to send/take to a friend.

On to my show and tell!  I had this wonderful little rocking chair that I picked up at a garage sale the first year that Rob and I were married.  Very cute,  but it really was worn out.  The seat cushion had holes in it and the stuffing was falling out.  So what I did was (before christmas) I picked out some material and then last night I traced around the cushion onto material.  I then cut and sewed up the cushion!  Woohooo.  It was late so I put the rest aside until today.  This morning I did the same with the back cushion and it is so nice!   Under where the seat cushion goes had to be taken apart.  Old burlap and stuffing and dry rotted material.   I pulled all of the staples and tacks out and found that I need to replace a spring.   So we got a part and made it work and I redid the cushion under the cushion.  Below you will see the said chair!!  YAY! 

Here it is!!
