Rainy Day Project

Well - let me clarify - more like sick day project. Adian has been sick since Thursday night, so we have been housebound. He told me yesterday that he was "bored from being in the house all day with Daddy." We were planning on going about our normal Sunday activities today, but last night I woke to a little voice crying, "Please somebody cuddle me, I am so sick." And he was right, he had spiked a temp. So we are housebound again today.

Last week he bought that Goldy Gopher pillow for James with his own money. It is now the "Office Pillow." Don't tell James, but I think we are going to make him an "Office Blanket" for Christmas.

Now to our project.

I know it probably sounds ridiculous to many of you, but James office chair has bugged me since we re-did his office this summer. Everything in his office is now warm and rich, except his grey, drab old chair. (Which I might add I bought for $5.00 at a secondhand store before we were married.) When his birthday rolled around this summer I thought about telling his mom James really wanted this chair for a present, but as much as I wanted a different chair for him, I know he doesn't feel the same way. (And I have to add that the chair from IKEA was horribly uncomfortable. Now you know that's the real reason I didn't ask for it!)

I tossed around the idea of recovering his old chair but I wasn't quite sure how it was assembled, so I thought I would just keep my eye out for another chair. Then last week the back fell off (with the help of a certain little boy.) Perfect! I even had a huge piece of light beige upholstery-weight velveteen from Schumacher's given to me a few weeks ago. Now that chair is probably the most expensive thing in his office.

I love it!
