I’m sitting here drinking Kombucha ~TRILOGY~ (Raspberry, Lemon, Ginger), because one can only drink so many latte’s, teas and cocoas. This is snow day 5, after all. We did not lite the fire today, either. The sun is out and it is 36 degrees, tomorrow will be 41 WHOO HOO! We got 4 inches of sleet, snow, freezing rain all mixed together forming a solid sheet of ice, everywhere. The streets are iced over, a full size truck driven across ~barley leaving a mark. Crazy! The temps stay COLD too which means this ice hasn’t gone anywhere. This is subtly like Maine weather. School has not and will not open this week. So, we are home and I sewed a coverlet for my old ugly couch. The couch is so very comfortable, so it gets to stay. The couch is in my bedroom and serves as a quiet spot for everyone who needs one. I repurposed a well loved striped percale king size bed sheet set and only sewed it in two spots. You wouldn’t have to though, you could just tuck the arm pieces and center in. If it were just me sitting there I probably could have not sewn the arms to the center. Kids + Pets = Sewn lol I’m going to insert a little sketch to show you how I used the sheets. I used the flat sheet over the center part of the couch. I cut the fitted sheet in half and used the gathered parts on the arm of the couch. I sewed where the fitted sheets meet the flat sheet. I hope that makes sense. Here is the image. Don’t laugh!!
So there you have it. Snow days and new life for old things.
