Finishing Projects around the House

I am working on projects that seem to have dragged on all through the academic year. They are big, messy and need full attention.
1st. Painting the walls of the interior. (Mostly done).
2nd Pillow covers (done).
3rd Painting a wicker chair (done) whose ottoman is meneded, painted and already in use.
4th Strip a 'new' thrifted chair, CLEAN, recover along with it's friend the $6 wingback from our homestudy re-do from America's Thrift Store.  She's been waiting for 5 years for new life.

I've already got the education plans printed and books ordered, received and waiting, so I'm taking a break from swimming this morning to literally -- get this house in order!

Most everything I know about the plans-- buy the paint (done). Put on junky clothes (done). But I'm going to need to follow a pattern for my chair re-covers. I can easily cover a cushion, but a chair has 'shoulder's. But this one looks like it's very doable. and the original from Miss Mustard Seed.
Like 2-day doable.

But life happens... kids need structure, projects, lunch. Cat comes in & 'finds' and adds new feature to said new cushion... now cushion needs 'deep cleaning'. Husband calls, asks 'are the bills & budget ready for me to look at?'
Stinky laundry from father's day family campout needs doing. Yes. Real life happens. And it is good.
Pictures to soon to follow.
