I Heart Etsy

The Flirty girl Be Mine apron has been featured in two Etsy treasuries!  It's always so much fun to see that people other than me like my aprons too :)  It really helps me to keep going, to keep creating.

T-Shirt Pillows

This simple fun project came about as we were doing our "Annual Family Post-Christmas Closet Clean-Up". It's a great time to clean out the old to make room for all the new treasures that Santa gifted.

My husband had a couple of much loved t-shirts that were still in great shape, but were getting a little snug after so many trips thru the laundry.  I hated to just trash them or give them away since he still loves them.

We racked our brains to think how we could still get use from them.  After some back and forth ideas my husband came up with the perfect solution, why not make them into pillows for the basement couch!  Done and done was my response and here is the result, or at least the first result!  I still have one more pillow to go.

This is a great way to keep all those treasured t-shirts, especially for your kids as they grow out of their favorites.  It's also a great way to save a memory like a vacation, family reunion, concert or event t-shirt.

If you are interested in instructions on how to make your own t-shirt pillow leave me a comment and I will post a tutorial.

Cuteness

Just a little bit of cuteness to make your Monday sweet!

Tomorrow a full post featuring a little project I'm working on for my hubby and his man-cave.

It's an easy inexpensive project anyone can do, with a little bit of time, a sewing machine and some old and much loved t-shirts.  Hope to see you tomorrow :)

Java Love

Look what I found in my coffee Sunday morning, a little bit of love from my favorite cuppa!  How I missed my daily dose of coffee while I was preggo, apparently it missed me right back.

And now that all is right in the world between my coffee and me and Emily and family are all settled back into familiar routines, I think that it is time to get back to work!

It's not as easy as I thought it would be, finding time here and there to carve out a little space for my self to create.  But I am working on it, were going to start off small with little projects here and there for the shop and hopefully finish Payton's quilt some time this century.

In the meantime I am having a sale to clean out the shop a little and make room for the new.  Check it out here!
