White Couch Slipcover

My client decided she wanted to redo her couch in white twill.

BEFORE---

Couch---AFTER--- I was in love with all her decorating---that turquoise secretary desk was 100% me.

And check out her rug in the entry! BEAUTIFUL!!!

I had enough fabric, so I self-lined the skirts.

We decided to "box" the back cushions to give it a cleaner lines.

SIDE NOTE--- I ran my first full Marathon this past weekend! I finished in 4 hours and 30 min.

Here we are at 3:30am getting ready to go catch the bus to the start line! We'd been training since January. It was a bit brutal on those 8 degree days.

Here we are at the start line....pouring rain, luckily they handed out trash bags on the bus. Here's our group of 5 from my neighborhood that signed up.

Here is Teresa and I at mile 13! Still feeling great. I decided to take it easy and enjoy the journey and not push hard for a good time. I ignored the 4:15 pacer when he passed us---I didn't want to feel pressure to go faster.

I wore my trash bag till mile 20...it was still raining, but more of a drizzle by then. I was SOAKED by the finish. I couldn't wait to get back to the condo to sit in the hot tub and eat chocolate donuts!

Here I am running into the finish---my boys jumped in and ran the last bit with me! It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I never hit the "wall" that everyone talks about. 

At mile 22 I was thinking, "Yea!!! I won't have to stop and use the porta potty!" Almost immediately after that thought, I had to start looking for the next porta potty! Dang it! Oh well enjoy the journey right? I ended up having to find one at 23 miles and again at 24.5 miles! Too much powerade, I guess!

Teresa and I finished it together!

All five of us finished within 18 min. of each other. The first of us came in at 4:12 and the last of us came in at 4:30.
