Because I had to make LOTS of them for my slipcovers, which will be done soon. I hope they are presentable, if not finished, by Sunday--yes, we're having company--a great motivator to get things done and clean.

Come back Saturday for my last Four Weeks of July Fourth post. Before you leave, take a minute and take the DUCK CHALLENGE from my previous post.
