Mad Hatters

So a couple of weeks ago the kids discovered the nightstand drawer that holds all the hats. Thad and I have quite a few, though we don't really wear hats. I wish I were a hat person, and back in the day I tried to be, but every time I wore one out I felt like it was weird. Like it didn't look natural on me, or that I was trying to hard to be hip or whatever. So they sit in a drawer. But the kids have been putting them to good use. They wear them around the house all day, and I think it makes them crazier if that's possible. There seems to be more running and screaming when the hats are on.


I did a little chair make-over the other day. Just our folding chair for the computer desk. The fabric was pretty disgusting, and I'm not even sure how it got so bad. But I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went and got some new fabric. Here's the after, I won't even show you a before because I am that ashamed of it.

And now I want to re-do all the chairs in the dinning room, and re-finish the table, but I am in the middle of a sewing project, so that will have to wait.

Wait until I get there so i can learn!!! And I think the kids look plenty hip. Maybe its the bulkeley genes because tenille could always pull then off too.

Thanks Kels ;0) That chair turned out fabulous! I am in the middle of re-covering my first chair and hope it turns out half way decent! *fingers crossed* I wish i lived closer so we could all get our craft on together! ♥
