Pillows!!

Here are the pillows I've been working on!

All I did was cut out the fabric into two same size pieces and place one on top of the other with the pattern on the inside. Then I measured and drew guidelines for sewing.

Now start sewing on the dotted line!

Leave a gap on one side so you can reverse the fabric and put in the stuffing.

Once I stuffed it to my liking I hand sewed the gap and voila!!

These pillows were too easy :P





Saturday

I'm not able to start on the DIY rug until I can get some sheets to start out with. Until then I will sew some pillows, which I have already started :) I will post pictures as soon as I finish them, there will be about 4.

Well, off I go to a birthday party for Sydney who is the big 2!!!!

Wreath out of Book Paper

My Version

The wreath is finally finished!! It has taken forever especially since I went on hiatus during school. But now it's done and hung!

I started with some old books and used three pages for each rosette.

I used a hot glue gun to glue them onto a foamed wreath I found at Jo-Ann's.

Tada!!!!

I am very happy with the way this has turned out. Here is my inspiation from Under the Table Dreaming.....

I'll probably finish my long time project, the flower wreath, today. Finally! and before school starts!

My next craft project will be a crochet rug made out of old sheets and fabiric. I'm excited about this because it's been awhile since I have crocheted anything.

Here is a picture of Matt and I at the Braves game this past weekend :)

I made these for Matt after his last baseball game as a surprise :)

We are also going to a Braves game in Atlanta on Saturday and I though posting this would be appropriate, they are playing the Cubs. Go Braves!!

I got the idea fron Pinterest Baseball Cupcakes, the original is done with M&M's, very fabulous!!!

Fabric Wall Art

I wanted something crafty and affordable to add to my bedroom wall. I used cordinating fabric that I stapled  to canvases of different sizes with a staple gun. I might need to change a couple of the colors but I added the stencil to make it look less plain, it seems to work. Now all I need is some new bedding to match!! Look out Pottery Barn here I come :)

Fabulous!!!
