I Do Not Sew

I do not sew.
So why do I find myself with
a rather large stash of fabric?
And why is it so difficult for me
to pass by
fabric remnants at the thrift store
or the fabric store?
And why do I even find myself
in a fabric store
when I do not sew?
Perhaps it's because every once in a while
I stumble upon a great deal on some
fantastic fabric.And then I use that fantastic fabric to cover a seat.And I give that spray paint color a second chance.And the result is an outdoor chair
that looked like thisnow looks like this. And, without sewing,
I've made a pretty little spot
by my side door that beckons me
to rest and enjoy my shade garden.

    This is good. This is really good. Now I'm inspired to get out my own pile of fabric and get to work!

    Woohoo! I LOVE that color. I used two cans of it on my wicker chair. Now I have to find fabric for a cushion.

    Where DO you find your furniture?! I wish I knew what thrift store you were shopping, you sure find some great stuff.
