This is the guy who's putting the old chair cover out of commission. Clearly there is no Bemz cover on it yet, because not only do Bemzes (yes, Bemzes) cost as much to ship as they do to make, I am being a puss about pulling the trigger.
So I have to deal with a whole lot of beige in my life right now. Just looking at the word makes me sick. Beige. Beige! Ugh!
Say hello and goodbye to this Ikea print fabric, you guys (you two guys). I staple-gunned my little heart out for that chair cover (I am so good at staple gunning, seriously), but it gots to go. I just got a new chair and have sent away for a blue slipcover, and it's uncomfortably close in shade. Trust me; it would look totally lame. So ta ta!
Dar God, I promise I'll sew again one day. Until then, thread is pretty.
I hate this thing so much. I mean, I love the idea of a Rolodex (I'm not down with all my addresses just being on my computer. I'm just not. What!), but do you know how hard cool, old vintage ones are to find?! So super retarded hard! So this dude stays. For now.
I was not lying about the sewing. I did it once, and I leave it all out in my sewing nook as a reminder to get back in to the game. It's not working so far. At least it looks cute though, right? Mike's aunt gave me this when she retired from being a home ec teacher.
So, here is a refugee from last year's Sew-o-rama. Where I was all jazzed to get my sewing machine, and end up, obviously, on Project Runway. FAIL. I made like an apron, a couple yoga bags, a dress, and a top. And then I totally stopped. Project Lazy, more like.
Anyway, this survivor is my pin-holder--a Jonathan Adler apple dish I got for a few bucks, that I glued a big magnet onto to keep the pins in place. That soap is used for chalklines. See, I still worship the crafty stuff, I just don't go to church.
This is one of the first decor-y things I did for my apartment. There's this totally weird alcove in my living room that was Lord knows what before, but I decided: You hold the Marimekko. I'm unhealthily obsessed with Marimekko and these canvasses were a deal on eBay. Mike put the three lights above them and they're on a timer, which is rad if we're ever out of town and robbers try to come rob us. They'll think we're home because our art is lit up. Robbers thwarted.
