I’ve posted about easy peasy pillow covers in the past. But thought I’d revisit the subject. Just because. This project is so simple, anyone can do it. Seriously. The hardest part is calculating what size to cut the fabric. And I’ve done that for you! If you have a sewing machine that sews straight seams, a pair of scissors, a tape measure … ….oh there’s more
Last December I said to myself, I should make a goal of one new quilt a month. Then I said to myself, are you crazy? So, I scraped that goal for something more realistic. Like making quilts for all eight grandkids. Got Riley’s denim quilt finished and delivered in April. I made Piper’s “heart of my heart” quilt last summer… … ….oh there’s more
If you follow me on Pinterest, you might have noticed a board for “Things that Piper wants me to make her”. My 4-year-old granddaughter LOVES Pinterest. We spend “quality” time going through all the pins for mermaids, assorted softies, and cat-themed pillows. So when we came across the pin for this mermaid tail, she really thought I should make it for her. … ….oh there’s more
I’m always looking for little DIY projects that are easy and quick that will hold a 4-year-old’s interest. Piper is trying to learn her letters, so we decided that the fridge could really use some color and we’d make some names to spice it up. While Adley was napping, we pulled out an adhesive magnet sheet that I bought at Hobby … ….oh there’s more
I haven’t been posting much here because I’ve been disappointed in the WordPress theme that I’ve been using. I tried several themes before settling on one and thought it was PERFECT! But after actually using it for a few months, I discovered several problems. So, I’m trying a new one, and I’ll be experimenting some more. Meanwhile, we’re enjoying our … ….oh there’s more
Piper asked me to make her a mermaid waaaaaaay back in April when I was visiting. Told her that I would get right on it as soon as I got home. Of course, whatever I make for Piper, I make for Addison, Kendall, and Adley. So now we’re up to four mermaids. My first thought was to take my Wee … ….oh there’s more
This DIY is fun, easy-peasey and CHEAP! We have all seen these letters on walls, right? The above are from Pottery Barn Kids and are on clearance. 8 bucks each. They have other styles anywhere from $10 to $29 each. Little Miss Piper had her name on a wall in her bedroom. So Cute. When Adley the Queen was born … ….oh there’s more
Okay. I got to admit, I’m not the most organized person. Terry just walks into my office and shakes his head. But it’s not really disorganization. It’s more like clutter. Because my head is cluttered. Therefore my office/sewing room is cluttered. I always have two sewing projects going and strewn about in the sewing corner. Then there are the websites to update … ….oh there’s more
In my final installment of cool and funky pillows, I present to you…. A pillow with GIANT POM POMS! That goes perfectly with the two other cool and funky pillows! I did some searching on Pinterest and instructions to make pom poms with a piece of cardboard or by just wrapping it around my hand. They came out very scraggly. And I wanted Perfectly … ….oh there’s more
I fell in love with this zebra fabric many months ago. Maybe more like borderline obsession. I could find no reason to buy it because I usually have a project in my head before I order fabric. I don’t like to keep a huge stash of fabric. So I usually have to justify–to myself–exactly why I NEED to buy more! But … ….oh there’s more
