Sky On Fire

This was the sky on the morning of November 27.

My friend, Marcy, inspired me to make these pillows. I invited some friends over and I sewed slipcovers for pillows so we can do more for additional holidays. Next, we used NO SEW heat-n-bond to iron on fun colored leaves. We used pinking shears to dress up the leaves a little because they wouldn't have stitching on them. I love the way they turned out. I should have taken a picture during the day so you could see my pillow. My pillow is 2nd from the left.

Halloween!

Kayla is obsessed with ducks. Ben decided he wanted to match Kayla. Whala...2 duck costumes!

4 year old Birthday Shirts in Action

Just a sneak glimpse at Ben and Patrick's 4 year old birthday shirts. I have to post all about Ben's Space Ranger Birthday that we did in October this weekend. Stay Tuned!

Custom Cape In Action

Just thought you'd like to see a custom appliqued cape in action!

1 Year Old Birthday

Pumpkin Shirt

Wall Bookcase

I saw something like this on a blog...I'll have to find the link. I made 2 shelves. Each shelf is made with a double curtain rod holder (Lowe's $5 each) and old curtain rods I had. You could also use dowels. I then got some home deco fabric and whipped up 2 casings to slide the poles through. Tada! 2 awesome bookcases. Kayla and Ben can now SEE their books. I'm rotating them every 2 weeks! LOVE IT!

FAll Leaf Pillows

Had a great evening with some fun ladies making fall leaf pillows. I sewed up some slipcovers and then we heat-n-bonded (red package) the leaves on. They were happy it was NO SEW. I'll have to take a better picture of my pillow during the day light!
