I knit and am a follower of Elizabeth Zimmerman (Big Time) but recently tried something I've wanted to do for years - I reupholstered my old raggedy couch.

I'm impressed! I have two chairs I have promised myself to reupholster...you did such a nice job! It gives me inspiration!

Gorgeous! I could curl up and take a nap, it looks so comfy and inviting. :-)

"I reupholstered my old raggedy couch."

Now that is a labor of love. I've done that twice and know how much work and heavy lifting goes into that project. Congratulations. It looks great.

I don't knit or sew anymore but about 30 years ago I made muppet-like puppets. I even gave a few puppet shows at my kid's schools. (I think I still have the patterns I made up somewhere.)

Currently my passion is making concrete garden "art". Last year I started out making and painting concrete leaves, but this year I've graduated to more challenging items...a bench, small tables, planters and spheres. I've even got my grandkids involved in the craft.

Add me to the ping list please.

This is beautiful! I retired my lazy-boy recliner out to the back garage, someday, I'll reupholster it (the mice probably are working hard at disassembling it). LOL! Maybe this will give me incentive. So, tell us, do you sew? How hard is it by comparison, if you know? Is it time consuming, is it backbreaking, you mentioned you were sore. If you can compare it to something, maybe like making curtains, or cooking for 20, or something like that......
