Napkin Pillows

I'm sorry I have been lacking in posts and ideas lately..I have had my share of busyness around here wrapping up the school year, wedding stuff, and work, work, work!!

We have had no bites or lookers on our home yet but know that God will sell it in his time..not mine.

No worries..

This morning I hung some beautiful curtains for a client and then came home and was inspired to make something fun! Don't you have to be in the mood for this stuff?? Please say I'm not alone on this...

Anywho..I pulled out some old pillows and napkins that had not sold in my last sale and went to town sewing.

I love working with napkins, they are so easy to convert into pillows

Place right sides together and sew three sides leaving the fourth side open for stuffing in the pillow

My pillow was an odd size so instead of cutting off the excess fabric I sewed it and folded it over the front 

I made a small stitch on each corner to hold down the cuff and tied a bow for a little fun!

I love it!! These napkins were found at Goodwill awhile back and now I am sooo glad I didn't get rid of them!

Aren't they sweet??

Of course, as fast as I change my mind they just may turn up in my November sale..

Have you made napkins pillows? I would love to know..Talk to me..

Have a beautiful day!

I am linking up with DIY Design for a Linky Party

Dry Erase and Memory Board

I hope you have all had a wonderful week. It has flown by here and I can't believe school will be over in a week! I can't wait! My older two are always gone during the summer with camps and school but my youngest is still home. It will be so nice to make our own schedule and not have to be anywhere everyday.

I love the summer!

I haven't had a lot of time lately to do many projects. With the house on the market and work picking up for me again, my days have been pretty full. 

I had a couple things left that I made for a recent show and wanted to share them with you.

The first is a dry erase board. 

I started by using a frame I already had and covered the existing board with burlap

I then put it back together and used some pretty vinyl letters to add a "TO DO" list

It's now ready for your grocery list, errands, etc..

You can use a dry erase marker or a chalk pen to write and erase!

Wouldn't this look pretty in a kitchen or mudroom?

Another old frame I turned into a note board or picture holder

I started at the top of the frame (on the back) and used a staple gun to attach jute

I made a zig zag pattern going from one side to the other until I reached the bottom

That's it..hang pictures and enjoy!

Both of these items are for sale so if you are interested please leave me a comment and I will get back with you.

Hope you have a wonderful Memorial weekend!
