I printed this picture today and it will be on the card he receives. It will give me the opportunity to use my sports stamp set. Dad really isn't a sports guy, so Father's Day cards are always a challenge. He doesn't fish or hunt or participate in anything else that they make "boy stamp sets" for...so this is my chance!
Meanwhile, Mom was a pretty good sport by helping me out with my latest and greatest "spruce up the house" project. I moved my couch into the former dining room (which is in process of becoming my office, but it's a very slow process). The couch is green and white striped, and that room is my Americana room...so that presented a problem.
But the person who sold me the couch threw in the slipcover she'd purchased for it. It took me 35 minutes to iron that thing. That's longer than the combined amount of time I've ironed during the last three years. And I probably should have ironed it more than I did, but by that time I was bored.
Anyway, the pillows on the couch don't really go well under the slipcover, so I bought this material and passed it off to Mom to make me pillow covers. Mrs. Lee would not be proud. How many years of Home Ec did I take? I should be able to sew pillow covers!!
I told her I wanted the blue material to kind of wrap around like a bow on a gift. Mom came up with the little pleat idea on her own and I think it's as cute as it can be. Mrs. Lee can be proud of her. Thanks, Mom!

i sewed new fabric on my cushions and pillows! I think you might be able to see the good job in a pic in our house blog.
Living room pillows? I can see those in the "welcome to our very very fine house" post. If that's them, they look cute from far away! i still need to get over to see them in person! :)
