Flour Sack It!

I've been eyeing these flour/feed sack pillows for some time now from Wisteria. I want to use them as chair cushions for my new dining room chairs. (I got them for my birthday!! Thanks Mom!!)

Wisteria

The lumbar, smaller size, pillow is exactly what I want, but I cannot bring myself to pay for the insanity. They originally cost $149.00 EACH!! They are now on sale at $74.50 each. Still ridiculous!

So I'm on a mission to make these things for a fraction of that... Stay tuned...

Succulents!

I've been in love with succulent plants for forever. They are so cute and mini plus easy to maintain. This summer I planted all my outdoor pots with succulents and before they get put up for the winter I wanted to revisit how good they once looked!

Aloe, chick and hens, and jade plants are among the plants I used.

The picture below is the arrangement on the front porch.

Pumpkin Ice Cream Cake!

Hope you had a great day Mom!

Gift Tag!

Gift wrapping and tag making are fun for me and I made these tags a while back for a bottle.

I used my Congrats stamp and added 3 buttons to the tag. Also I wrapped a fabric grosgrain ribbon around the bottle.

The glue wasnt dry yet when I took these pictures.... Make sure to use fabric glue to close the ends.

This was so simple and easy to do with materials I had around the house. I think it totally dressed up this "presentation" of the bottle and made it unique! Perfect for holiday, birthday, and congrats gift!

Behind!

I'm so far behind on my blog postings. There are so many projects and DIY's that I need to add.

Stay tuned for:

• my bathrooms before and afters- painting stripes, staining cabinets, removing textured ceilings!
• Nora's halloween homemade skirt- Alison created the fabric then created a cute skirt!
• my bedroom before and afters- new bedding, drapes, and a de-clutter!
• Plus there is another baby shower in my near future! So excited to be throwing it!

Sorry people... I dont know how people work full time and blog full time!! Ill try to keep up!
