What a crazy week we had last week!! On Wednesday I took the kids to the park and we had an amazing afternoon, the same night my baby had a little fever, so I took him to the pediatrician in the morning after leaving my other 2 kids at school. At the doc office we were transfer to the ER with respiratory distress... What??!!!! Of course one day before my husband went to Germany on a business trip. We stayed there until the night and they released us with a huge treatment. Two days later my middle girl and I got the virus, but we really took it easy and it was not as strong... After arriving to Germany and bought me a couple of magazines he had to return here to help... and cook :) Everything went well and our baby is healthy again!!!
On Sunday I decided to take all my stress away, so I decided to take down a little couch of the kids which they adore and refurbished it. The blue coach has being with us for 6 years aprox. And I can say that it is used pretty much everyday (the red one too but that one I haven't refurbished it yet).
I had in my stash an old green and again bold print IKEA FABRIC which I bought in Spain in 2008 (as you can see in the picture), I wanted it for a chair, but never did nothing... you know, but I still love this textile so much.
I tried to copy and take measurements over the cover (which was a bad idea as it was better to take measurements of the couch) and started there... piece by piece.
Then I took the zippers off (3) of the actual slip and put them in the new one.
I tried to put it together... and didn't work the first and the second time... but the third one we had a new little green couch!!!
I did it!!!!! yeahhhhhh!!!!! Bye bye old cover!!!
It is not perfect but it has the same purpose as the blue old and decadent one: coach, bed, castle, fortress, boat, etc, etc, etc
Now I have to make the other one but I'm not in a rush as it took some stress away but it also add some of it to me.... maybe I just needed to do something easier.
