day three of vacation

swing

sewed the "roof" to our old swing.

ok, so it doesn't look that great in this picture. but i'm really proud of it. our old neighbors "gave" us (and by "gave" i mean, dumped with us) this old swing when they moved out of town a year ago. but the awning was ripped. over the year it's just ripped more and more and slowly become less and less useful. so i decided to make a new awning in hopes that we will actually use the swing. now the next step will be to fix the cushions. if anyone knows of anyone who is getting rid of lawn chair cushions give me a holla'!

this was the last day of my vacation. :( but it's been a good one. restful and productive. i even got to sit out in my new hammock this evening and read my book. i think it's my new favorite spot!

You must be planning a lot of relaxing... what, with all of your hammock making and swing sewing.

i have this crazy notion that i can't relax until i feel like i've accomplished something. so i really felt like i accomplished something after those projects. hence, i relaxed!
