Murphy's Law

A few weeks ago, I was sitting on the couch dumping beads off of a strand into a container to store them when things went awry and the beads ended up all over the sofa. Because the sofa has button tufting, the tiny beads were getting stuck under the buttons and it took me a good five minutes to get them all freed without losing them in the couch, and while I was doing it I noticed a button that was pulled tighter than the rest, so I flipped the couch over, determined to figure out what was pulling it so hard....

Oh dear...

Since then we've opened the couch up a grand total of four or five times, the first to ascertain that a spring had come lose and reattach it. The second to re-reattach it. The third to install brackets to to hold the springs down. The fifth to hold the spring into it's bracket.

Yeah, it's kinda been going like that.

It's been a week now since we fixed that problem and the spring is still intact.

So today....

Yeah....
