Cottage Pillows and Burlap Decor...

I know in November I posted a few pics of some pillows I had been working on. I've been experimenting with a few different styles since then and this is what I've come up with! A dear friend of mine ordered 2 of the personalized "Simple Chateau and Fancy Chateau" pillows for her daughter in law's for Christmas. They were hard work, but well worth the time and effort! One of my favorites was the Je' taime burlap pillow. I've incorporated a lot of burlap in my home decor this year and I wanted to keep this one...I've decided to post it on Etsy instead.

Catching up and Winding down...

Oh my! This has got to be literally the dizziest holiday season I've ever had! In more ways than one....first off, this year I tried making most of my Christmas gifts not only to be frugal, but a gift also holds more meaning to me if it comes from the heart. :) With that being said, I was up pretty late most nights trying to get things done in time. It wouldn't have been so bad, had I not realized sooner that I am getting too old (if you can call me old!) to go to Six Flags! ugh. The whole week preceding Christmas I dealt with a HORRIBLE case of vertigo resulting from my one wild ride on The Titan. The last ride of the night and it done me in...maybe next year I'll learn to avoid that one at all costs!
Enough about that...I've got tons of catching up to do! I don't really even know where to start. Ok, let's take one category at a time. I've finished about 5 or 6 hoodies in the last month and they all turned out adorable. Some I did not get pictures of b/c I gift wrapped them in such a hurry or shipped them out before I realized it. Again please excuse the quality of my picures, for one thing (as you can tell), I am my own model, and for another, I do most of my sewing late in the evenings, thus the lighting is horrid!
