Crafting Kabosh

Man, the crafting Gods really don't want me to get anything done today! Seriously, I was all crazy nervous about doing these chairs, and I finally got up the guts to start, and it was just not happening, folks. The method I wanted to use, that I used for this chair:

did NOT work for these. 

Cause of the fancy-schmacy back, I couldn't get the poster board cut quite right. So. Where does that leave us?

STAPLES!

Now, I've never used a stapler to upholster onto a frame, it's mostly been just upholstering around a cushion, but I know that the manual ones would kill your hand in 10 seconds flat. So I borrowed an electric one from my father- in-law, who has pretty much every tool known to man, and it was MISSING A PART. GAAH! 

Buzzkill.

Don't you just HAAAAATE when you get the balls/time/all the rest of the materials to do a project and the roadblocks crop up?

Anyway. Now I am sitting on my ass, giving my unfinished chairs a death stare and grumbling. Good story, right?

I fart on staple guns.

All I want to do is put 

THIS. 

onto THESE

grumble. 

Thanks for taking this ranting journey with me. 

On the bright side, I am going to cajole my hubs into getting me sushi take out for dinner tonight! 

Sweet, sweet consolation. 

Your grumbling, sushi-eating pal, 

Margaret
