 So D and I had the bright idea of recovering the dining room chairs with our needlework projects.  There are 8 chairs.  I got them in Italy years ago (probably 30 years ago)!  So, one chair is done.  




This is a pattern on the floor of the Melk Abbey in Austria.  It was in front of a Benedictine sarcophagus and D thought it would be a perfect memorial to Jeff.  The original plan of making it a rug changed fortuitously into a chair seat!  Much less work!


Then, there's Klimt (are you sensing a pattern here?)..
It's not done yet.  Got some embroidery around the edges to put in.

Then there's the firmament one for good measure...
It's way far from being done, as you can see.

And we have 
PUFFINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So that's 4 of the 8 chairs...and we're in our 60's.  It just proves you can always dream.

    Those chairs are so fun and unique! I love the idea!

    Our kitchen chairs see so much abuse that there is a kind of permanent muck on them, that even a pressure washer wouldn't be able to get off.

    So, now it's my turn to dream, to dream about a day when I can dream like you are! :) For now, I will just dream about muck-less chairs.
