Flower garden, 2007

Last fall, I added more tulip bulbs to the garden because I thought there wasn't enough colour. The new bulbs ended up flowering later than the existing ones, so the flowers came in phases.

At the beginning of May, 2007, the garden looked like this:



Then, the garden filled with mostly yellow tulips (I didn't get a photo of it).

And now, in June, 2007, it looks like this (I planted the purple alliums in the middle the year before):



But I think the garden looks nicer photographed from the side:

Reupholstering chairs

As usual, I took forever to post something new on my blog.

I don't think Blogging is for me. But anyway, I decided to post pictures of one of the dining room chairs I reupholstered.

Georges originally bought them used and they were in good shape, except for the fabric.

We'd been putting up with the dirty seats for a long time, but I finally got around to changing the fabric this past April. I think it's an improvement. Let's just hope they last a while with their new "clothes"! We haven't really used the chairs yet, so I don't know if the fabric is too lose or too tight (or if our bums are too big)! :D
