The finished product- I should re-stain the chair someday, I guess...
In time for our Easter Party I recovered a Craftsman style rocking chair built by my grandfather around 1910. The Calder print material covering it was a recover from my mother- it used to be covered in all leather.
Saw these out front of a unfinished wood store (yeah, I know they are finished). The title came to me immediately because of the vibrant colors.

My husband and I recently started a little LEGO contest to improve our building skills. Alternately each one of us sets a theme and both of us have to build a corresponding model.

This rocking chair belonged to my great grandma but has gotten passed down to my grandpa. This chair was used by my great grandma to rock all of her kids. This chair was used around the 1930’s. The chair was used in Northwest Iowa. My grandpa still has this chair because it was passed down to him and it was his mom's.

Lots of people display rocking chairs on their front porches. I think we would all do well to rediscover the pleasures of actually using them!

These boots have counted off many a band
Playing one night roadhouse stands
For tips in empty rooms
These boots have stood toe-to-toe
with the biggest baddest joes
Like they had some things to prove
These boots
Yeah these boots more than once have saved my ass
Like the time they hid that grass
From those cops in Tupelo
And these boots have danced with the devil
and nearly lost that battle
to a Wild Irish Rose
I wore out more soles than I care to count
Done more stupid things than most would dare to
I've kicked myself more times than not
for the roads they led me down
but the damndest thing I've ever seen them do
is walkin' out on you.
These boots had to see California
and an Arizona morning where God paints the sky
And these boots had to spur that beast in Cheyenne
Thought that bull'd make me a real man
I still drag that leg sometimes
I wore out more soles than I care to count
Done more stupid things than most would dare to
I've kicked myself more times than not
for the roads they led me down
but the damndest thing I've ever seen them do
is walkin' out on you.
Now these boots are one step from the door
They walked out of years before
I can almost see her now
These boots ought to kick that door aside
Stomp out my foolish pride
But they just turn around
Damn these boots
Damn these boots
These boots
Here's my mum's teddy bear again, sitting on an attractive rush rocking chair I reseated a few years ago.
Tenuous link: occupied chair
this kind of ruler was fixed on a big brick wall in Madrid, near Alonso Martinez.
my guess is it's used to measure the movements of the wall due to humidity, cold and the passing of time.
I just love that rocking chair.
