Can you believe it's August already? This has been one busy summer. I got my chair reupholstered. About the time I got the chair taken apart, major apprehension set in. When I was young, our neighbors, Ed and Elvera, reupholstered furniture to supplement their retirement. I must have paid attention because as soon as I started thinking about them, it all started falling into place. I sanded all the wood down and painted it a dark Charcoal Grey. Looks great in our entry way!
This month's blog train colors were fun to work with. I tried to put in elements that you could use for any occasion that you might be celebrating -- birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings for no reason in particular...

Fan Freebie --
I love our two oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. I lived in California for several years and spent a lot of time walking the beaches. Vacations in Florida have been great. But, I'm a Midwest girl. I need lots of space where animals outnumber people, rain storms that come out of nowhere and snow in the winter (even though I complain about it every year). This month's Fan Freebie features the "Tropical Fish" I designed years ago for a painting pattern project.

The Boo Update --
Drink water from a cat bowl? Surely you jest! Boo has always preferred to drink water direct from the kitchen faucet and from a coffee cup setting on the bathroom counter. The Kitty Water Fountain was a good solution to make sure he's getting enough fresh water. It has a filter and a calcium tab, AND...if he's not drinking water, it's so much fun to just watch the water bubble up non-stop :)
See you next month!
