Thank you. I'll leave my coat off, and wish everyone a Happy New Year
from the West. ;-)
Just watched 15 minutes of fireworks from a window in the front of the
house, in warmth and comfort. I do believe it's now 2010.

"Coast"! Dammit!
And yes, I am now 35 minutes into 2010. Which reminds me
that I should write that year on about 20 checks, I know for
sure I'm going to get to the 200_ before I remember to get
the 10 in there.
We are having a weather pattern called the "Pineapple
Express". Very warm, very damp weather comes from the south
over the ocean, and produces *massive* amounts of rain.
Right now it 53 degrees, higher than it's been all day.

That is good because when you get done using the weather, it usually
comes here. I see in the forecast that we'll be going up into the 40s,
which is happy news. Maybe this danged snow that's been piled up for
nearly two weeks now will melt away. Instead of getting new top layers
like it did twice this week already.
I've been circling the dining room chairs, eyeing them carefully. I
have fabric, batting, and a new electric stapler. The thought of
redoing the covers with the old hand stapler sent me to the heating pad.
Now to decide if I should go get some foam to put under the batting
which goes under the fabric, or say the heck with it and plow right in.
These chairs have been around about 100 years (though not around me
all that time) and they don't get coddled. I've covered them a couple
of times in the past 25 or 30 years, too. Maybe Beverly would come help?

Sure darlin' just name the day. It's definitely a two-person
job. I have recent experience, older DD and I just
recovered my six teak dining chairs, bought new in about
1971. I used fawn-colored upholstery grade faux suede, and
added 3/4" of foam, cut to shape with the electric knife
then tapered by hand with scissors on the edges so it
wouldn't "show". The old foam was still pretty good, but I
figured some additional cushioning wouldn't hurt.
I tried to find a good electric stapler but had no luck,
everything seemed to be pneumatic. I replaced my
40-year-old hand stapler which was shooting about every
third staple crimped. It was hard enough pulling out the
thousand staples I used when I re-covered the chairs 20
years ago without having to pull out new damaged ones.
I am very happy with the new look. I figured I could risk
this fairly light colored fabric since I no longer have
toddlers around and probably won't for at least 10 years.

Oh you are a dear! Maybe I should just send you the six chairs. Oak
with barley twist legs. Not great chairs, but they do the job. I found
some of the tapestry cloth I used last time. Got it at Mill End cheap
because it has a flaw, but it's easy to cut around that for chair seats.
There's a wood frame, then a sheet of wood - plywood on some of them -
with the padding on top of that. I've wondered how they were done
originally. Probably with webbing, but I'm not messing with that! They
don't get all that much use. I use one, but the old man gets his dinner
on a tray at The Chair where he has his earphones for the TV, his desk,
all his eyedrops, pens, pencils, books, notebooks. I do not
"entertain." I've never given a dinner party in my entire life and
don't plan to start now.
I've been feeling good because I solved a couple of kitchen storage
problems this past year. My kitchen being 1927 "modern" meaning small.
I found a knife block that mounts under the upper cabinet and swivels
on a lazy-susan turntable - just upside down. Then I got an "oak" file
holder to be mounted in an office and had it put on the end of a cabinet
to hold my trays. Both were expensive for what they are, but worth it
to me because of the solutions to where to put the danged stuff. I do
love it when I can do that.
