I did finish the mat yesterday, border and all, leaving me today with no excuse for putting off recovering those chair seats.

I did 19 today. I only stopped when I did because it got too late to pound on the staples with a hammer to set them: wouldn't want to wake the neighbors. They look so cute with the brightly-colored canvas we bought for them last week.

I have a house guest coming either tomorrow or the day after. With all the things for the restaurant lying around, it looks like an episode of "Hoarders" in here. The space will be ready in a few days, so I'm not highly motivated to stash chairs downstairs, or any such thing.
