Since I still haven't found a job (I've accepted the reality that it's just not going to happen this summer) I've kept myself busy plenty of other ways. Usually I find myself running errands or doing chores for my mom. I also like hanging out at my family's business, listening to the goings-on of the farming community. When I can, this is one of my favorite places to be.
Now creating things is something I've always wanted to be good at, but realistically it just doesn't come naturally to me. I can organize my craft supplies all day long, but when it comes down to actually starting to make anything it usually takes a bit of encouragement. I had a fairly good craft spree over the winter when I painted and gave my room a makeover, but it trickled off before I got around to making the throw pillow covers I so enjoyed picking out fabric for... Yes, the pillow covers are still on my craft list, but something else found its way to the top yesterday. This current blast of creativity started last night when I finally found and put together a shadow box from my high school graduation, but that's not even the really exciting part. While Mom & I were perusing a consignment shop downtown yesterday, I found a set of folding chairs at a really good price. I know folding chairs aren't on most 20-year-olds' wishlist, but I've been dying to try this folding chair DIY since I saw it on Pinterest a while back! Plus it'll be nice to have the set once I move out of my dorm and get my full blow adult status.
I'm really looking forward to picking out paint colors & fabrics for my chairs, but I know its not all fun and games. I've already had an absolute blast just trying to remove the seat cushions since they aren't just held on with normal screws. I look forward to more learning experiences with this DIY & I'll be sure to share pictures once I finally have one done!
