New Year's Eve calls for champagne and little champagne cage chairs . . . they make wonderful little ornaments. 

2014 has been interesting to say the least . . . as it comes to an end I find myself looking forward to the new year for no other reason than I like new beginnings.  I like the start of a new school year . . . I like to open that first blank page of a new journal . . . I like the feeling that each and every day is a new beginning.  A new year just makes me reflect a little more than usual.  As I start 2015, I think I am more myself than I have been in a long time.  It is a good feeling!

Happy New Year!

new chair cushion

I can't remember where I found this little chair.  I believe I only paid $7 for it.  I love chairs and can't walk past a cute one for $7.  I decided this one needed a new look.

It has needed a new look for quite some time - I just never got around to doing it.  I was motivated my some pretty gold fabric I found on the clearance table last week for $5.  Luke was giving me a hard time this morning about covering the chair when I had so many other things to do . . .

. . . but a little fabric and a few staples - and it looks so much better - good enough to hold a bear for Abbie's shower.  I have recovered from things going wrong yesterday and all the work it created.  When I say I have recovered - I am motivated and moving forward and not thinking about about all the things that I should have gotten done yesterday.  As far as how my body feels after all the moving furniture and cleaning that I did - I am not completely recovered.  I'm somewhat sore and moving a little slow today.  I hate that! (But I'm not going to let it stop me)
