: About Me

About me is really the hardest to write about because I've just became "me" again. For the last thirty-some years I've only been Mom this Mom that... . Four weeks ago my last Baby moved out to go to college.
Am I suppose to tell who I was or who I am now ? I was born in Hungary, grew up in Belgium, came to Canada in 1969 at age 15 (there is a quick math quiz for you)was married by eighteen , first time Mom by age twenty, soon after baby number two, struggle struggle... separation, baby number three, divorce.Blah blah blah how boring. Work , work, work, stitch, stitch, stitch. So who am I now? I don't really know, because I'm positive that chunky old broad in the mirror is not me. She has my coloring, wears the measuring tape around her neck, has a dozen or so pins stuck to her shirt, and a couple hanging out of her mouth. That one would probably benefit from oil of olay or some such cream. I wonder should she be put out to pasture? NO how No chance. Life should start right NOW. Now is a good time... I'm waiting... waiting... .
Lets see, I have to do something about that. Where to start? What's on the "future" list?
More grand-babies hopefully. Write, write some # one articles, a few bestsellers. Make more money, lots of visits from my college student, travel to Hungary to find my roots, sewing, quilting, knitting... .
That should take up a bit of time, then regroup.

Home & Garden > Home Interior How to reupholster furniture inexpensively

6 of 8

One of the key words here would be reupholster furniture INEXPENSIVELY. If you're like me, and you need to squeeze out another year or three out of your living room set, (just till the lottery..)you do have the option of doing the recovering yourself, which will save quite a bit of money. I'm not suggesting you rip the couch apart right away, but a good place to start might be a footstool. Tools you will need: 1) Scissors (sharp,you want to cut not massacre the fabric) 2) Staple gun (Heavy duty manual is okay but an electric one is easier on your hand) 3) Staples 3/8" or 1/2" (with pointy ...
