1) I got promoted officially (yay), and they've hired on a couple of more people who will start to help. I have real hopes that I'll be able to start reducing my workload by the end of the year

If James or David were awake right now, they would roar at you in agreement. :D
I actually got 10 yards of this fabric - which is upholstery weight and size. I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the rest of it. If the print were just a little smaller, I'd be making some sort of purse/bag with it. As it is, I've only thought of maybe a pillow and part of a curtain (it would be overwhelming as the entire curtain).
Congratulations (& ABOUT TIME) on the promotion!!! *Throws confetti* & hopes for lighter work loads *and* better pay!
I noticed the piping right away ~ I bet the golden glimmers add a great touch! Your mom will be proud to see you putting the new machine to good use.
Love how it's on the 3rd reincarnation thus far... that foam cube is having quite the life... Maybe we should have given *you* our old foam-based loveseat ;)
A loveseat seems a bit out of my reupholstering realm - a cube is so simple, it seems almost silly *not* to just re-cover it on a whim. :) Then again, there's still 9 yards left; I probably could cover a loveseat with fabric to spare.
That loft area is on the dark side, so the sparkle in the piping probably won't show up... but I like the idea of a random potential sparkle up there every now and then, to add a little magic.
I'm very curious about my next paycheck, that's for sure! It's coming right in time for the boys to start preschool - whew!
