I have watched entirely to much television today. The past three days really. I've been away, busy being spoiled in Maui for a week by my gracious amazing childhood next door neighbor, and her new hubby (Wedding photos coming soon!!) and upon my return home have allowed myself quite a bit of "recovery" time.. time spent in front of the television/computer watching period films and "Dexter". And cleaning. Dexter is excellent inspiration for cleaning.
Since my hubby has been away, back in Illinois, my diet has consisted of leftover Thai take out ( pre-hubby traveling to Illinois ) Diet Coke and "Whoppers". Apparently I have a "Whopper" addiction. I'm pretty sure its the packaging. Packaging always gets me.
So this is me "writing", trying to get my act together.. because jet lag cant really last thiiis long.. can it?
Etsy selling post coming soon.. SOON!!

Bag Lady
I'm bound and determined to use all the bags I collected from my coffee supplier.
So far I've upholstered a wingback, recovered the seat of an ice cream parlor chair and given a bunch away.
Last week I tackled our four year old patio chairs. We registered for them and I'm sure it was one of those.. "well, what else can we scan??" moments at Pier 1. I think they were a great decision seeing how they have made the cut three times moving, once out of state, and now, they survive the dry Colorado air.
I was totally over the lavender seat covers so I decided to try my totally free alternative. And since I really love burlap + silk screen I count this a success.
You can do this the Ashley way:
Pro staple gun
Craft Iron
Marking pencil
Guts
or
the smart way:
Tape measure
Marking pen
Straight pins
Craft Iron
Sewing machine
Skinny dowel rods
Since the other involves a sewing machine you can guess which way I did this... (I totally recommend doing this with a sewing machine, the "smart way". Once my burlap rips or gets stained I have to tare staples out and totally recover this. I decided to finish the three remaining chairs I will phone a friend and get assistance in using my sewing contraption thingie)
More burlap goodness here! Updated 11/30/10
