a while back, I removed the cover on one of my IKEA chairs and arranged to have two new ones made…

I used the company that did such a great job on the garden chair cushions…

we picked a pretty fabric and then waited… and waited… and waited…

the first piece of fabric that arrived was defective and it took a while to get the replacement, lol…

got the email advising the covers were done and raced over to pick them up…

then it took us quite some time to get the covers on the chairs as it was snug… good that there were muscles in the room, lol…

but they look great… and I am very pleased with the colour;-)…

Wednesday morning we went to Custom Repair & Stitchery and ordered new cushions for the garden chairs… we looked through the fabric options and chose a green similar to what is currently in the garden… and there will be zippers so the covers can come off the foam to be washed…

I have been wanting them for ten years or so, ever since the last ones faded and lost their comfort level…

and so, since then, we have used two square cushions on each chair, which have been okay, but they have been getting a bit old as well…

I was also interested to see a newer version of Square than I’d seen before… I do love technology…

can’t wait for the new ones to arrive;-)…

Wednesday morning I took the leftover pickled veggies for my lunch…

realized when I got out of the car that the container had leaked all over the front seat…

used Kleenex and a heavy item from the glove compartment to see if I could soak it up…

still a wet stain when I got into the car at the end of the day… at home I brought out some towels and used a number of 2 by 4s to weigh them down… still there in the morning so I called the Chamois and booked an appointment to have the upholstery shampooed…

took it in this morning and spent an hour at Costco while it was being worked on… only had two grocery bags so needed to be a bit careful in what I picked up…

what I didn’t realize was that the seats would be quite wet when I picked it up…

the car is now in the garage with the windows wide open… hope it dries before Monday morning…

went to a play at PTE with a friend this afternoon and afterwards she dropped me at my neighbourhood grocery store… didn’t want to drive the car while it is still soggy…

picked up the few things I needed and walked home…

the leaves that were still on the trees/bushes were gorgeous…

this hedge was a lovely shade of red…

love the yellows and oranges in this section…

and then there are the trees that have lost all their leaves…

after all that I had a lovely nap, lol…
