What? Am I back? YES, with a couch and GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

Well yes, I may be back now just a bit.

I know now that the Summer will always 

be a low blog time for me. 

I just don't have it in me to carve out 

sleepless nights in the Summer.

However, I have so much to share.

So, without further adieu

let me share with you a couch.

Yes, that's right a couch.

This project began many a moon ago

with this post about purchasing some 

gorgeous houndstooth fabric.

I lovelovelove houndstooth!!!!

Anyway, it took me several months 

to actually gain the courage to begin the project.

Who am I kidding?

I am no expert or even amateur seamstress.

I am a pretender at best.

Finally, toward the end of May I began the journey though,

and by the middle of July I was done.

YES! It really took me this long because 

I had two parties to plan,

bible study to attend, 

swim lessons, and life in general to also tend to.

Plus, I would bust it out all day for a day or two

and not want to touch it again for a week.

Well, the couch is now done.

I love it.

I love that it changed the lines of the couch.

It makes for super fun and cool storage for the boys stuff.

I am going to be on the look out for more vintage pieces.

Psst . . . there will be an upcoming post 

about what is inside that suitcase.

I do keep the seating cushions covered 

with an old sheet when we do not have guests

because this fabric is soooooo incredibly light.

It's cream and a greenish-blue. 

Up close more blue and far away more green,

which means with the yellowy cream color 

it is more green overall.

Now I just have to finish up the pillows. 

They are mostly done.

They just need top seams.

Be looking for them soon.

They're pretty darn cute!!!!

So what do you think of my couch make over?

Pretty awesome for $54 in material.

Actually, less than $54 because I have a ton of material left.

This brings me to my next point.

A giveaway!!!!!

Yes! Would you like 1 yard of this awesome 

houndstooth for yourself?

Well, just let me know what you would use it for 

and it could be yours.

The giveaway will close on

Friday 
because what could be more frugal 
than winning something for free.

P.S. Be on the look out for another project 

that I used this fabric for.

It is kid friendly and cute.
