As for making a "to-do" list, I need to put that on my "to-do" list. <br /><br />Did you leave any of the pins in the cushions?

I used to have some very similar fabric that I used to make a little skirt that I put around a sink that didn't have a vanity or cabinet underneath, so I could hide things underneath. I think I still have some scraps around; we can be fabric twins. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203707315474422023.post-14258382636461774062013-08-15T19:38:59.726-07:002013-08-15T19:38:59.726-07:00I know....but at least you HAD a list...and worked...I know....but at least you HAD a list...and worked at it!<br />I like the cushions as well...MUCH better than before!<br />I really must sort out that Raggedy Ann...The embroidery is the most tedious part...AND THE HAIR!!!

I was just telling a friend today that I have about 25 projects just laying around needing to be done. With the wedding and school stuff done, I need to get my butt in gear, too!<br /><br />I love the cushions...so much fresher and fat!

I have a load of WIP's, a massive pile of books to read (about 50, literally), the garden needs attention, the lounge needs decorating, I have to decide on curtain fabric (thought I delayed this by ordering fabric samples, and they went and turned up!). Food to make for family get together over bank holiday weekend.... Better stop here before you start screaming!<br /><br />Chair cushions look lovely, I think that the ties might soften in time? They do look lovely and plump and soft though!

I can't live without lists and writing it down reinforces what I have to do. I need to make a list of knit/crochet projects to do now for the upcoming months when gardening doesn't fill my time.<br />Those chairs sure do look comfy now ... a great place to rest and enjoy a cup of tea.Linda aka Crafty Gardenerhttp://www.craftygardener.canoreply@blogger.com
