Today I decided to make the fruit bag from Linen, Wool, Cotton by Akiko Mano. I didn't realize that Japanese fabric is thicker than American until Ani told me. So I used a double layer and, wow, does that stuff like to stick to itself. Very obnoxious.... or as Drew and Ian say "ignoxious." Oh well, it's made although, I don't think I'll be making another, at least not with stupid American cheesecloth.
Yesterday, husband and I went to Goodwill and scored these cool wooden folding chairs. They're surprisingly sturdy and will be perfect for the game table in the living room. Or they will be as soon as they're painted some fun color and I actually find a table to be the game table. I can't believe how hard it is to find a 33" round wooden table for a reasonable price is. I mean is $150 considered reasonable now? It certainly doesn't fit in my budget at that price!

make a table - use a yard sale/thrift store table that has a decent base, and cut a new top. I did that with a throw away coffee table for my twin boys to play on. we love it. funny, we have some parallels - my husband is recently back to the workforce after over a year, and I also have twin boys. nearly all I make is from what I have.
well wishes to you & yours...
