Gardening: Should the Pink Tulips stay or Go?
I had planned that those pink tulips were supposed to show halfway through the Daffodils and the start of the grape hyacinths... but timing can be tough when you buy bulbs that just say 'early', lol...
SO... should they be clipped and stuffed into a vases to be enjoyed indoors... or should I leave them alone?

Furniture: Old school desks
Ive got these two old school desks picked them up super super cheap at a yard sale. They are in perfect shape, the seats fold up nicely. Ive dated them to around 1890.I had them for sale on Craigslist, but the only hits I received were from a couple of "clowns" who wanted to send me a "cheque" and have cousin Vinny swing on by and pick them up. Anyway, Im not sure what to do with them. I do not want to paint them. Any ideas would be wonderful!

Crafts: Recovering Patio Chair Cushions
