Upholstery19:49 Jun 26 2008

So my cedar chest was damaged in the move cross-country and has to be repaired. Included in the repairs are the upholstery for the top. This is a picture of the upholstery I have chosen to replace what was damaged. 
This cedar chest means allot to me actually. It was given to me when I graduated from High School in 1992 from my grandparents on my mother’s side.
It has been with me through one marriage, that failed, and the birth of my two children. It has scuffs from little shoes kicking it trying to climb on top of it, and it has marks where a little girl was made to remove the stickers she put on it. The dent where a little boy rammed a truck into it, various little nicks and scratches and each has its place.
It has had heads rested on it in sadness and in joy. It has been filled with hidden treasures and things that needed to be kept safe. It has been at the foot of my bed in every home that I have lived in since I got it.
Withstanding the test of time it has weathered the storms of life with me and now.. The total cost of repairing the damages, $639.81, the upholstery is not included in that cost projection. I got the upholstery for $18 a yard instead of the $30 a yard it was marked as. You have got to love sales, unexpected ones are the best. :)
The old cover was nice, soft taupe color with blue and pink dots of color, stripes intersecting to make a diamond pattern. Chocolate ice-cream stains from a little girl who decided she was going to sit on it and eat ice-cream cause mommy was sick and she wanted to watch mommy sleep.
All of it memories, some better then others. I will not say that they are forgotten because they never will be, but they will now be changed. The "do you remember when it had the old fabric on it and you did this?" type of things.
So I started typing this just to share the upholstery color that I choose, and instead it turned into a memory slide show of some of my past. I am ok with that.

When did it become yours?
I do not recall giving it to you.
Yes I said "Here wear this, it is the only hat I have right now until our stuff arrives." But that does not imply I am giving it to you.
Yes you look good in the hat, with your dark clothes that you wear all the time.
Yes people do give you interesting looks when they see you around the base wearing it.
HA it was so funny when you snatched Wolfbites hat off of her head and glared at her.
When she asked why you took her hat, the argument was priceless from you.
She just stood there and calmly explained that she didn't take the hat, that one is hers.
You still argued with her about it.
When The Boy came down the stairs with the hat in his hand and you glared at him, which was a moment to cherish.
When he said he was taking my hat back to me and you said it was your hat now and he stared at you and then looked at me, that was very cute by the way.
When did it become your hat?
I do not recall giving it to you.
You said to me "What's yours is mine and what’s mine is mine." I just looked at you funny.
Listening to you explain that I gave you the hat that day you got the awful hair cut, I had to correct you sorry.
I didn't give you my hat, I loaned it to you until your hair grew out.
It is not my fault that they have given you yet another bad haircut, I will cut your hair for you if you like.
Darling no matter what you say, protest or shout about, it is not going to ever be your hat.
I want it back.
It's my VR hat damn it... get your OWN... grrr
Stop putting it up where I can’t reach it.
I love you.

Your fingertips there, just out of my reach.
The panic in your voice as you call to me.
The pleading in your eyes as I stretch out my hand and reach for you.
Whimpers from your lips cut short as you start to loose your balance once again.
I am here, I will reach you, I will not let you fall.
The first steps of a child, such a precious memory.
Masquerade Dance00:30 Jun 02 2008

So Wolfbite is attending a Masquerade Dance for school on the 13th of June. It is part of her 8th grade promotion day.
I will take pictures of course.
I am currently working on painting her mask.
As I type this she is telling me she loves the idea I came up with, of peacock feathers in her hair. Guess I am off to the craft store this week. HAHA
KO primed her mask black for me. That is pretty much going to be the main color of it. She loves Fleur De Lis so I have managed to find a few things to place upon her Mask for that theme.
She has to decide between two dresses. A hunter green lace dress that goes over a lavender sheath dress I made her, or a purple midlevel dress with the blue lace over the bodice. Such choices for the child I know. Wish her luck.
