I kind of hate blogging right now. Perhaps it's because of my unpredictable internet connection. However, I thought I could at least give you a few updates with projects I'm working on or have completed. And because a blog about projects without pictures is really boring, here they are!

| Finished my color wheel project. Here are the first six. The blue and purple one is along the lines of the orange and yellow one. |
 |
| My dishwasher broke and they left behind one of the shelves. Naturally this became a hanging collage. I call it the Magpie Nest. Basically anything shiny or interesting goes up there. |
 |
| I'm experimenting with art. This is an illustration from The Six Swans. It's supposed to reflect the transformation moment. Still a piece I'm working on. |

| So, this is my couch. It is actually the couch my mother used for her first apartment. She and her mom found it at a flea market and my grandmother made the cushions. Yes, these cushions are over 30 years old. I already got rid of the rocking chair cushions but needed to save some $$ to make cushions for the couch. Upholstery foam is expensive! As is upholstery fabric. On January 2, I grabbed my Joann Fabric app on my phone and went to town. Foam was 50% off, and I used a 40% off coupon for the fabric. |

| I could only really afford one cushion, but still. I have enough fabric for another cushion, and I'm going to make some throw pillows out of some other fabrics I fell in love with at the store. If I use my coupons wisely, I won't have to pay full price once! Also, in a testament to my insanity and sheer hatred of measuring and fear of sewing machines (we're working on it), I hand-sewed this bad boy. Eventually I'll probably pull out the stitches and put in a zipper. |
