freaking out over fabric.

I think I pin-pointed my fears while watching a few of these upholstering vids on YT....

Mainly, I'm freaked out because the beautiful fabric I bought is 5 yards. In this case, $100.

And I love that fabric.

But I want to do it right.

And I don't want to run out of the stuff.

We've got enough padding and quilt batting and other crap like that in this whole house plus the special stuff I bought for the chair, so I'm not worried about running out of that.

See, I laid out all the old pieces of the chair on a sheet outside...and we measure how long, the width, etcetera, and then we even added more for allowance.

So....I just might be freaking out over nothing.

We'll have to wait....and see....but mostly wait for a spurt of amazing dare. And it'll all be okay in the end.............or so we hope. :) I just have to keep telling myself i.can.do.it.

rehearsal interestingness, and a lovely link. :)

Golly.

Ah. I'm at a wedding rehearsal at church.
Tomorrow's the big day, and Anna and I are doing a song --When I Say I Do, by Matthew West-- and since Anna's babysitting, I had to do it solo today. Just got done with it, and my hands are all shaky, even though there are only about 16 people here including us regulars: me, Ben, Pastor and his wife.
Golly. (sorry, i'm quite repetitive today)
It was good, but I'm just not as used to playing in front of everyone alone, with just my voice and my electric-acoustic . . . and not to mention, since I'm sometimes quite notorious for being a last-minute type of person, I worked up the song in the past week and a half or so . . . :]

I am so brewing that caramel-latte-flavored coffee that Justin and Sarah (and wee little eliyah) gave me a couple weeks ago for my birthday. :) I deserve a bit of caffeine and mmm-good flavor after all this. ;) just kidding.
Well. I think I should be going now. It looks like they're going to go through it all again . . . we'll see if they want me to go throug it again, also . . . it's fun, just a little jittery sometimes. :)

Falling slowly, eyes that know me

And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
