I had a slight accident a few days ago with my poor computer chair. (I re-upholstered it a few years ago to match an ottoman I re-did.)
I honestly don't have an idea how, but, I tripped over this sucker when I was attempting to walk through to the bath room and CRASH!!
The back was distroyed as well as the eardrums of 10 of my neighbors. . .
But-- The best thing in the world happened. While setting up for a garage sale, a good friend of mine wheeled in an identical one that was broken also and marked it with a sticker that said "FREE"
(OoOOooooh Thank You, Brit. You are a life saver!!)
♫♪Hal-e-lu-YAH!!♪♫
I only needed the plastic part on the back rest to fix the chair and I was left with this. . . .

The kids are always looking for a hard surface to color on at home or when we are in the truck. . . (its no fun to sit at the desk or the table, ya know?)
I took an old pant leg from some jeans I cut off into shorts and then just slid it on and tied off the ends with some jute.
Too bad I didn't have a few of these. . .
The girls are in love with their new little 'lap desk'. :D

Hey Jackie!
Oh my gosh, our blog names are so similar and you love thrift stores as much as I do. I love you. LOL.
You have so many great projects and clever uses for junk.
I'm glad your 4 year old convinced you to buy that fish. I friggin' love it!
