I just can't stop eating this salad so I thought I'd share it with you.
Broccoli Grape Salad
6 cups broccoli florets
6 green onions
1 cup diced celery
1 cup green grapes
1 cup red grapes

dressing 1 cup mayo and 1/3 cup sugar 1T cider vinegar

That's the recipe but I also added raisins, craisins, sunflower seeds and pine nuts. And some shredded cheddar cheese, and if I'm indulgent crumbled bacon.

I found one of those cute little stools at the thrift store and had my way with it. Sam picked the fabric from my scraps, I was of course going to use the cow hide again. His worked too. Red is our accent color in the new house, so if we ever move into it this stool will match.

I got this chair from a friend a while ago and decided that it would look better if I covered it in cow hide. Yup I like it better :)
I may take the flappy wings off the side so it's more rectangular. Maybe that's this weeks job..

We made spring suckers. It was pretty easy and only minorly messy. Overall a success. Hooray!

I FINISHED!!! I finished all 6 and they are great. I can wash them every meal and they keep clean. Hooray! When Chase is 4 I will buy myself some nice ones. But as long as we average 3-4 spills a meal I will keep these.

Firstly I haven't posted in a while because the chairs are taking over my life. I hate them right now! And secondly I found this beautiful light fixture to hang in the girls' new room. I love Home Sense.
ok back to the chairs. Or maybe I'll just go buy new ones at Home Sense :)

Today I have decided to reupholster my chairs. Good bye to my horrible kitchen chairs that are impossible to keep clean! Right now I am HATING staples. Hopefully the girls will let me go to the fabric store. They really don't like to go there. And I really don't like to take them.

We had a photography day! For some reason I can only bupload one picture. Oh well. Fun day.

I've been sewing. I made matching spring dresses for the girls and they worked! I think I like sewing. Diane walked me through it and even made the zippers easy to do. I'm ready to make more!
