you q?

It's PRIDE! I love this weekend. Hanging out with all my friends...celebrating every one's right to be who they are...having some beers...watching a parade. It wears me out every year, but still love it. So, to support my gay and lesbian friends, I wanted to work a tasteful rainbow into my weekend wardrobe. My friend Ryan and I got together last night to paint some shirts and mine is below! I'm working on another one for Saturday (this one is for Sunday) so if it turns out, I'll post that as well!

I'm very fortunate to have such amazing friends who have included me in this celebration for the last three years. Here's to many more prides to come!

Just give me a staple gun...

...and I'll take over the world. I took my first steps into upholstery the last few weeks. A friend is redoing her apt and wanted to recover some $20 Craigslist chairs. Never one to back down from a challenge, I helped her out. The first chair took about three hours, the second one only about an hour and a half start to finish. Below are the pictures. I'm super excited about how they turned out. It makes me want to scour Craigslist, find old chairs and recover them and re-sell them. However, these were pretty straight forward and pretty easy. I might not be so lucky next time! And hopefully within a week or so I'll have a new project to post. A friend wants to paint tshirts ala I Love Johnny and I'm all for it. If it works out I'll post some pics!





After and Before.

Second chair done! Can't wait to see her whole place come together!
