satisfaction

I get a lot of satisfaction from finishing little projects that only take a few hours to complete. Not that I mind tackling the bigger projects, but they're just not usually quite as fun. Last week my satisfaction came from reclaiming this old sewing stool that I found buried in the back of our shed:
Some new fabric from Hobby Lobby, a bucket of blue paint and a few hours later:


The fabric in itself makes me extremely happy.
And here Margaret helps show off my new sewing table chair, conveniently storing away all my little sewing odds and ends. Now I just need to actually learn how to sew...

On a separate note, Hobby Lobby also provided me with these lovely birds to grace my "birding" table (which conveniently overlooks our bird feeder station). They were having a big sale, I really saved lots of money....

I am very happy that the current fad in home decoration is decorating with birds. It fits right into what I already like and gives me a little tie back to my ornithology and Audubon days.
