That Darn Couch

There hasn't been anything new for me to talk about in awhile... but I am excited to announce that the crazy couches are finally partially finished!!!   I know, I know, it's not really a proper update when things are only "PARTIALLY" finished... but that is a pretty big step for me!

I finally made it down to St Looey last weekend, sewing machine and two finished cushion covers in tow.  Me and the girls had a great time, staying up til 3:30 or so in the morning (and that darn daylight savings time adjustment didn't help us), sewing random pillows for the back of the large couch.  The Loveseat is still untouched... but the bigger one, which was much more difficult and time consuming... is done!  YAAAYYY US!!!!!  Those little cushions on the loveseat will be nothing after being swaddled in 50 pounds of giant cushion every time I tried to work on them... that fabric is pretty darn weighty, let me tell you.  And it gets HOT when you are swaddled in it.

We were kinda zombiefied the next morning, but we were both pretty proud of our couch... We stood back and ooohed and aaahed for quite some time.  :)  Matt's opinion was that it looks like the result of a crack-addled brain... but really, he's the only one of us that would know how it feels to have a crack-addled brain.  I kid, I kid!!!

Here are some partially finished photos for your viewing pleasure.  My apologies on the quality... they came from my phone, which is now the only camera I have.  BLEH!  One of these days I will take better pics.  Maybe.  For now, I am just glad to have made some progress on this project!!!!
