I am still working on the apartment. I've put up curtains, put away all of my clothing, and even started organizing some of the craft studio of death. Its looking up. I don't feel like I'm living in disarray anymore. I really need a couch, but I'm being very picky about choosing one. My chairs are antique so I'd really like an antique couch. I'm just not sure I want to shell out the money for one. I've been going to antique and thrift stores like a crazy person. I may just have to settle until I have a permanent house to live in. I'm ok with that. I need a couch because the chairs aren't really sit-able. The ones on the right side of the room in the pictures are in need of a chair doctor. The springs are coming out of them. One is worse than the other. I would love to fix them myself. Has anyone done this? Would you recommend it, or would you recommend taking them to a professional? They have been in our family for quite awhile, I wouldn't want to take the risk of breaking them. They are in great shape otherwise, the frames are super sturdy and the upholstery looks like new.
I started my costume for the harry potter book release and movie premiere. I'm going as Molly Weasley. I'm making the ever popular sleeves from The Chamber of Secrets movie. I'm doing them a little different though -- with granny squares at the top of the arm and then building off of that. I bought some premade granny squares off ebay a long time ago and this is the perfect project to use some of them up. I'll post pictures eventually. You know how that has been recently.
