Homecoming

It's Homecoming weekend and we're making the most of it....by staying home.  Unfortunately, Will's not home so the prep work and pictures falls elsewhere.  So to brighten my mood, I declared it "I'm not going anywhere instead I'm Sewing!" day.  Jeff was left to his own devices (which included throwing away a bunch of my stuff).

What did I make, you ask?  Well, a few things for the studio which will be revealed at a later date and an item I'm really proud of.  A little history before the big reveal?  We have three dogs and a cat.  I know, you already know that.  But what you don't know (or can't imagine) is the places you will find a stray dog hair.  Daily vacuuming keeps it to a minimum, but any crack or crevice too small to vacuum just attracks the stuff.....especially my sewing machine.  I looked for a cover, but lets be honest, I'm too cheap to buy one for $30.  So I took on the task.  Here's my $4 alternative!

Not too bad, huh?  I'm actually in love with it!  I learned a few new skills, saved a little cash and have the rest of my days to admire my handy work. And the whole process only included a few bad words!  In my book, that's a successful day.  In fact, I had so much fun, I'm going to do it again tomorrow.  When's the next Homecoming weekend?
