You Have To Laugh...

We shouldn't really laugh though.... It's a blooming pest of a thing for Susan, I was going to write "It's a bit of a bugger" but I thought better of it! Let me tell you about it...
This Book, one of many by Nancy Halvorsen, has some lovely ideas in it. There are several extremely quirky projects for chair covers... and we love them. Susan works in a primary school... though not as a teacher so it seemed to me to be a very lovely and kind idea that she had... to make a chair cover for the birthday kid!... especially when there are a few sets of twins in school so Susan knew at the outset that she would need to make two... to keep it fair when it was the twins' birthday. She made the chair backs and they were fabulous, bright and cheery and, as you can imagine, the kiddos, twins and all, love them. Yesterday Susan came to class armed with fabrics and The Book... telling us that the school had had a set of triplets enrolled to start school in September... ha ha ha.... she had to make another chair cover! What are the chances of that happening? We laughed, but Susan wasn't sure she wanted to.
