But I won't keep going on about my baby fever. I was planning on sharing a couple of my latest craft/decorating projects. The first is one that I wrote about past month. I think it turned out pretty well. 
This is the finished project. I wasn't sure if I'd truly like that I used two different patterns, but It is growing on me. It's definitely not boring.
It's definitely much better that the original tan suede fabric. And, trust me ladies and gentlemen, this picture doesn't even begin to truly show how ugly the color really was. This picture actually made it better.
First, I had to remove the bottom part with a screwdriver. By far the easiest part!
Now I was ready to deal with the fabric.
I began to remove the fabric, but I had no idea how hard this was. There were soooo many staples in just a couple of square inches, and each were so stinking hard to remove. My hand was hurting so I stopped and asked myself if I really needed to do this step.
I put the new fabric over the original to see if it would show through. Lucky for me, my beautiful fabric was thick enough so that I could just put it on top without removing the original. It saved me hours of precious time!
The next step wasn't the most thrilling either. I had an electric staple gun (I strongly recommend this). I had no hand cramps whatsoever. I will say that it was somewhat hard making the staples stay since there was now another layer of fabric. But it worked out in the end.
After securing the middles and working outward, I approached the corners with not so much enthusiasm. This was super hard stretching and shaping and reshaping and restretching. But when I finally got happy with the appearance, I would staple and take a break until I forgot how much I hated the corners. Once you get past this part, it's pretty much downhill from there.
As close to perfect as I could get.
And when you do this, you always need a supervisor.
Ta-da! After I put the bottom on with the screws and screwdriver, I assembled the legs and back with the seat. And I had me instant happiness.
Project 2: simply painting canvases.
The white and black design is simply wallpaper placed and stapled onto the canvas and dried overnight.
The letters and designs are stencils. I picked a Bible verse that has meant a lot in my life in the past few years. Cheap art!
