Doug's Project 365

Whoever came up with microsuede is a genius.

This is a shirt I wear as half jacket, half shirt. It’s an unlined canvas shirt from Bean, perfect for early spring days like today.

I’m trying a theme this week; we’ll see how interesting it is.  The theme is fabric: I’ll be doing closeups of some different types of woven & knit materials.

Today’s fabric is the cotton webbing I am using to redo the seats of our dining room chairs.

I’m replacing the old blue seat tape on our Shaker-style chairs. I origially built these chairs (from a kit) 16 years ago and the original tape is a bit the worse for wear; I’m also regluing some of the joints. The new color goes better in the new dining room.

Today I built a table for our porch out of leftover deck boards.

I feel like I’m in Sleeper.

 
Yes that’s a quarter.

I hope the text isn’t indicative of the ingredients.

I’m in San Diego for business. The drink napkins at this restaurant display one of Lis’s favorite jokes.

Here’s a crocus aching to bloom.

I borrowed Greg’s miter saw to do the miter cuts for the picture frame moulding for the dining room project.  Without it I’d still be cutting.  Thanks Greg!

 
Bonus picture: the finished product! Phone photo does not do it justice. Already it feels like it should have been this way all along.
