Hi Friends!
Its mid October 2013 and I haven't blogged in who knows how long! I haven't had any wedding crafts going on and most of my time is spent working. Our weekends are filled with seeing this friend or that friend. Literally.
Anyway, over the summer I took obedience class with my puppy, he was too old for puppy kindergarten but I decided we needed some extra training time and the guidance of a class. After that was over I decided to take a beginner agility class and tomorrow is my last class of that one. We started the class when he was only 10 months old and the trainer thought he wouldn't be ready but boy is he amazing! Slightly biased but I think he's one of the best in the class. I plan on continuing on in the spring when we'll hopefully have more $$$. I really think someday we could compete in agility. I have done agility before with my older sheltie, Scout but I never felt like we were good enough to compete. The class I am taking now provides a "real" foundation for agility, it isn't like the class Scout and I took which was just about introducing the dogs to the obstacles. There is a lot more training that goes into agility than the obstacles its really about the flatwork and body language, which is what we are learning now.
The other exciting thing going on, which will give me something to write about, is that hubby and I are moving!! We are renting a house on the other side of the town we currently live in and are so very happy about it! I'll have a few projects to share as I begin to form each room together. Since we'll probably be in this place for a long time (we are renting with an intention to buy) and its a "real" house I wanted it decorated in an adult like way (hehe.... as opposed to young hippy college apartment kinda way).
For now I'll share two things...
This house has window seats which I've alwaaaaaaaaaaaays wanted!!! So I'm making a cushion to fit on the bench. I already picked out the fabric....

hard to tell in the pic but its orange/red/ yellow and brown. Its not pinky like the picture appears. This will before for our office room (which is our 3rd bedroom and might be a nursery if we have kids someday). The room will be painted a light yellow and the floor is a medium tan rustic looking "wood" ceramic tile. Hubby loves 70's style things so the orange and brown in the fabric gave it that kind of vibe. Unfortunately I only purchased 7.5 feet of fabric and I just measured the seat at 7 feet! yeep. I don't know if I'll have enough fabric!
More pictures to come as the project moves forward!
Then I got this beautiful baby.....
This is the Deco sunflower slipper chair from Wayfair. Its supposed to be lavender but in reality its kind of a grey-ish color. Two of these will be seating for our formal-ish living room.
I've been searching for little accent chairs for a while now and it looked like I would have to spend at least 85 minimum for one of these chairs (with the nicer ones being $130+). Then, one day in my inbox I saw that Wayfair was doing a "Pairs" sale. You could get two of these slipper chairs for $140 total!!! That's only 70 each!!! Free shipping and the tax was only like 8 bucks. I'm a huuuuge sucker for a good deal. It's a sickness. But hey, If you were to buy this chair right now it would 110 for only one of them!
I like that its a pretty neutral color so I'll just put some bright colored pillows on them to dress them up. I also love that they are short, if you read the reviews that is the biggest downfall but I on the other hand love that because the house has only 7.5 foot ceilings so a lower chair makes the room feel bigger.
More on how the living room turns out when it happens! We will be moving in a few weeks!
