Pillows, Pillows Everywhere!

I have really been enjoying making these ruffled pillows lately. It is so fun to pair fabrics and make adorable ruffles. Yes, I LOVE ruffles!!! Be sure to check out my Facebook page!

This one I made for our bed! It is nice to make something to keep for a change. This one is a pillow cover with an envelope back.

Chevron Stripes! Ah! Loving this so much! I do have this fabric in gray as well... just haven't had a chance to make something with it.

This pillow was a custom order. It features vintage lace from my granny's stash. Sweet, sweet!

If you are local, most of these pillows are currently in my booth at the Southwestern Antique Mall. For non-locals, I can always ship!

Funnies... yet, seriously?

These funnies crack me up so I thought I would share! Some days Facebook just wears me out... I've contemplated fasting from it but get pulled back in. Isn't it the truth?

Booth Space~ Hurray!

Fun things have been going on in these parts... for instance, we opened a booth at an antique mall! It's a very popular antique mall with a lot of foot traffic so I have high hopes that we will be successful! I still have a lot that I want to do to the booth including more doors to cover this icky red shelf & peg board and some more doors. Those things will come... soon enough.

Here is a peek into the booth... it includes antiques, vintage treasures and some made-new things including my new pillows! Most of these were taken with my phone so not the best quality.

I love this typewriter... I am secretly hoping it does not sell so it can find a home in my house. :)

Vintage desk along with some fun vintage cowboy pillows.



I love this antique medicine cabinet - it was destined for the dumpster before I swiped in to save it... errr, actually, my brother-in-law saved it for me. It's over 100 years old!

This metal ice box is a sure treasure... it has shelves and all!

Here are a few of the pillow cuteness... I love these fabrics!

That's a little bit of what has been going on around here! This weekend, we are celebrating T's 2nd birthday with a Minnie Mouse themed party. Holla!

Merry Christmas, ya'll!

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!

I've tried many crafts and recipes that I've found via Pinterest and had great successes! I have several friends who have had failures as well. Mostly, mine have turned out great!

After a trip to the thrift store last week, I turned this sweater into these leg warmers aka boot socks! All for a $1 sweater.

I cut the arms off using the stripes as a guide. I hemmed them quickly to create the legwarmers which double as faux boot socks!

I also made this tie turned necklace using one of my dad's old ties. Thrift stores normally carry ties for only $1 so this can be a cheap craft. I used unfinished wooden balls from the craft store - when they were on sale 30% off so that helped too.

I have a board of recipes that I've tried and love! This week I made this potato soup and it was soooo awesome! We added in crumbled bacon (I think ham would be great too) and then added shredded cheese to our bowls of soup. So yummy and EASY!

S'mores Brownies!

Dusty is crazy for s'mores so last week I decided to take boxed brownies to a new level and make s'mores brownies. I realize it's probably not an original idea but I thought I'd share because it's easy and delicious!

 I just mixed up a brownie mix and spread it in a baking dish like usual. Then I sprinkled mini-marshmallows across the top and topped it with crumbled graham crackers. Bake as usual and devour while they are warm. Awesome (& easy) s'mores!!!

Girl's Day in the Country! A fun event for all ladies!

This coming weekend, I am a vendor at the very first Girl's Day in the Country at Mound Valley Farm. If you are from my area (western Oklahoma) definitely check it out! I'm bringing lots of handmade goodies like appliqued onesies and shirts, burp cloths, tissue pockets, rosette magnets, pins and clips. I've also got lots of magnetic chalkboards, frames and antiques!!! It's going to be a blast so be sure to come by!

Here are just a few of the goodies we'll have!

Autumn is blooming!

Since returning home from vacation, I've dove into fall decorating and creating! I made a few autumn rosette clusters today for Sarah Found Sarah Made. I thought they turned out cute - they are even cuter on! Perfect to clip on a cardigan, scarf or purse!

I attempted a new autumn wreath too - so far, I'm loving it! The fabric bunting is just pinned on so I can change it out if I'd like. The rosettes are a cluster pin that I stuck on too. It's hanging from a strip of orange fabric that I tacked to the very top of the door for a custom & seamless look! I do love that I can change the wreath up for each holiday/season. I am contemplating adding a big fabric bow to the top... still undecided.

I hung last year's wreath on our entry mirror and added the J this year.

I've finished my mantle and just need to finish up the decor in the dining room. Next up, planting pansies, mums and kales! Pin It
