As if I didn't have enough on my mind, last Saturday I brought home five chairs with broken seats. When I had first heard about them, I thought they
were woven cane seats, but these are the type where the woven seat comes all in one piece. They call it pressed cane. While they are generally easier to repair, and faster to do than the other, I have never fixed a chair of this sort. I'm afraid I am rather good at finding projects for my husband to do... This morning I set about attempting to remove the seat and spline that my husband put into these chairs for my Aunt Barb over twenty years ago. My efforts were successful and I have a nice blister in the center of my right palm to show for the work. A small price to pay, I'm sure.
While I struggled with my aunt's chairs, Hannah got into a little mischief with Lucas... His mommy laughed at the pictures, but I'm not sure his daddy would be quite so amused.

hahaha...we use to do that to Jonathan all the time...he's no worse for the wear! Sorry about your blister...sending you a big kiss from here to make it all better.
ReplyDeleteHaha! We have a picture of Steven in a dress too. Dave's mom tried it on him because his cousin, Erica, was the same size as him and she wanted to make sure it was going to fit her.
ReplyDeleteDoes James mind the extra work?
LOL I am pretty sure David won't think it's too funny, either. I sure do, though!!
ReplyDeleteHis Aunt Priscilla is amused!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha how cute.... We even had a picture of grandpa Don in a women's bathrobe. The girls thought it would be fun to dress him up!!
ReplyDeletePart of the fun of life.
What great pictures! LOL about the chairs..good luck on getting them repaired. I remember watching your progress of repairing a woven cane seat. How wonderful to be able to do that...wish I could do it, although I don't really have the need to know how since I don't have any woven cane seats. LOL
