I inherited an old broken rocking chair from my late Grandma Helen. Being the crafty ambitious person that I am (or pretend to be) I decided to learn how to cane and refinish it myself.
I mean, how hard can chair caning be??
I figured I could redo the entire thing while watching a couple movies and have plenty of time before Avery was even born.
And I learned a good lesson attempting this project!
It has taken me more than ten times the effort, work, cost, and time I expected. After spending hours and hours of time working I had to completely rip out all the cane and start over.

Finally, two months after Avery was born I have finished the chair. And now I get to rock Avery Helen in it and tell her stories about her Great Grandma Helen. I love that. :)
