His and Hers

Lately we have been busy with lots of school, work and all the fun of everything in between! We still get to spend time together because Ben can work from home. So even if it is spent working or doing homework, we can still sit by each other on the couch and talk while we work.

HIS

Ben has been zeroing in on his senior project lately. I thought I knew how amazing he was, but he surprises me over and over again! For his project he is creating a remote-control lawnmower from the iphone. (reminds me of the kid from Honey I Shrunk the Kids!) He has created all the circuit boards, iphone app, and will start working on the hardware that goes into making this happen. The other day he bought a JAZZY to take apart for the motors and the wheels for the lawnmower.

                          We had a ball chasing Nana around the room in this baby!

I was sad when he had to take it apart....but I suppose a remote control lawn mower will still be pretty cool!

HERS

The only time I have really sewn anything were little projects in school, a big levi quilt with my grandma when I was younger, and one for Ben's birthday when we were dating. Lately I've been wanting to change things up in our downstairs living room and started looking into couches. One thing lead to another and I decided to try my own reupholstering project!

We found a cute couch and love seat for 50 bucks on KSL, bought the fabric, borrowed a sewing machine, and went to work!

It really is turning out a lot better than either of us imagined! I love the gray fabric and white piping. It seems so fresh and crisp!

The cushions turned out to be the most difficult. If I can get through these cushions, I can do anything!

I imagine with school and everything to do, I will hopefully be done within the month. I'll update when they are finished and in use!
