Sewing Project: barstools & pillow

I have completed my second sewing project and I'm not going to lie I am pretty proud of myself.  We have a spot in our new place for two stools so my parents gifted me two of their stools (formerly dark wood with forest green) and we made them our own.  Rick painted them blue to match our shelves and I picked out this fabric to reupholster them with.   I watched a couple tutorials online and went for it.  It was a little tough because these well loved stools are no longer very circular but it was manageable, and I'm happy with the way they turned out.  Sorry for the horrible quality pictures, I need to find my camera and stop using my phone.

Happy Easter!

We are all moved into our new place and are lovin' it! I shouldn't say all moved in because we still have some unloading to do but we are getting very close. We moved in the first weekend in April and hosted Easter here the next weekend with my parents, Eric, my uncle Kevin & aunt Kathy, and Justin. Adelaide had her own little Easter egg hunt (thanks to Eric the Easter bunny) and thought it was pretty great. There were about 50 eggs filled with candies or stickers or cuties and she wanted to see what was in each egg as she found them. That wasn't working for us so we taught her a better way, but it was pretty cute while it lasted.

Mav is too young for egg hunting, so he just chilled on the grass.

I wish I would have taken a group picture with everyone but here is one of our little family.
