hello

Hello, today is wednesday and I have been keeping busy. Bible study, watching Abby, working in my craft room, scrapbooking, reading and beginning upholstering.
I had my first upholstering class last night. Tom went with me just to see the beginning process and help get the chair started. It was really interesting tearing down the chair, removing the upholstery and padding. There must have been a thousand staples and tacks. And there were quite a few steps to removing everything so I am sure doing the new stuff will be quite an accomplishment. The framework was a little shaky and cracked in a couple of places so we patched them with wood glue. I am not sure what the next step is, maybe stripping the finish off the legs and wood trim. But I will let you know.
I found an antique sitting chair today at a thrift store. It has upholstering on the seat, back, and a strip on each arm but otherwise is all open wood frame. It is a straight back sitting chair. It was a good deal so I had to get it, if nothing else it will be fun and easy to do.
We met for scrapbooking again and I got more done on my travel pages. Yeah! And we will meet again this week so I will make some more progress.
I am going to hang out with Abby tomorrow. And scrapbook on friday.
Talk to you soon,
Carrie
