Plead my case!

Hello all!  

Thanks for all of your input on my last post about the embroidery sampler.

I think I will get it and a book... so if anyone would like to suggest a good beginner book, that would be so helpful. But, just so you know... I couldn't learn to knit from a diagram, so I will need a very detailed but elementary book.  And I will probably watch a lot of youtube videos too!

I think we may have discussed that I am a little bit spoiled. But, I don't beg and whine to get things...obsess, maybe... but no whining.  

Today, I need you to whine for me.  

I am serious.

Mr. Hughes went to auction the other day and got a set of 8 antique dining chairs.  Yeah, yeah, I thought.  He says.... they are pretty.... yeah, yeah. I like the ones I have.
Then, he brings them home...

He wants me to give them a little makeover and put them in the booths.

I can't.

I love them.  They have to stay here... right here.

Aren't they perfect... they have a sassy pair of front legs too.

I am supposed to be up before them this morning painting 2 of these chairs for the booth.

So, before he brings me 2 more home from storage, I need you to beg and plead and whine on my behalf... I just think they are perfect for us.

Perhaps the jury needs another view...

And, just in case it raises arguments, I can still use those slipcovers that I had to have.... They will fit these better.

C'mon ladies (and a few gents)... help me out here!

oh and the plan would be to recover them... right now they are in a crunchy vinyl... I know... "crunchy".... I am thinking there is horse hair under the vinyl.

I am undecided on painting them if the Mr. says yes.  My heart says yes, paint them!  And so does my head for that matter.  If that offends all you purists out there and keeps you from pleading my case, just know that they will be painted if I sell them too.

Okay, I am counting on you.  No, really I am.

bye for now!
