Not a bad month overall!

Dining chairs done!
I finished my chairs over Memorial Day weekend. Well, mostly finished: I still need to add the glider feet and spray the seats with scotchguard or some other fabric protectant. But that won't really change how they look, so I think I can call them finished!! Here are a few pics:

As a little side project, I wanted to make a table runner that coordinated with the chairs, to help bring the table and chairs together into one little group. The table is all straight lines, flat planes and right angles, whereas the chairs are all curves. The fabric that I used on the chair seats came in other colors as well, so I bought some of that and used it for the table runner. My mother-in-law helped me make it (she is quite a seamstress and has all the equipment and tools that one needs for sewing). I used two different colors of the same pattern fabric -- beige with a brown pattern, and the inverse, brown with a beige pattern -- to make a reversible runner. Here's a close-up pic:
And here's the table and chairs together. All (well, mostly) done!

I bought a new macbook today, and in my excitement, almost forgot to take any pictures. Oops.

May 28: brownie
I made these to satisfy my massive brownie craving. Peanut butter brownies, so good.

May 23: shadow
The late afternoon light, the brick, the bright daisies and the shadows are just so pretty together. I took about 20 shots of this and it was really hard to pick one favorite, so here are a couple of bonus picks. (See if you can spot the subliminal Zoe presence!)
May 22: runes
I have no idea what this says, but it looks cool, especially with the different colors around it.

May 20: owie
Gave myself a blister which broke open while staple-gunning the new foam and fabric onto the dining chairs I've been working on. Ouch!
May 15: me
I don't think I've done an actual self-portrait yet. Plus I couldn't think of anything else to take a picture of tonight. Heh.
May 6: pattern
Wow, haven't updated the blog in a while. OOPS. Let's see if I can get caught up. This pretty little thing hangs from the ceiling of a small joint we went to hear some music this evening.

May 3: emergency
I wonder if these old call boxes still work. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't count on it in an emergency.
May 1: patriotism
I didn't really intend to do two flag abuse shots back to back, but this was too egregious to ignore.
