Christmas Wreaths 2015

I've been trying to get my holiday decorations up. I've said in the past, I don't flip the switch into the next holiday. I'm more of a transitional decorator.

I make my wreaths out of running cedar that I find in the woods. 

I think the best decor for anyone is looking to what is relevant to your area. It makes it personal and yours.

I hope you all are doing the little things that make this time special.

Thank you for taking a look at what's been going on around here.

Be Blessed!

Christmas Pillows

  Hey! Just a quick Hello, here.

Throwing some Christmas 

throw pillows out on the couch.

Getting ready to get Christmas on!

Vintage Pillows

Hey and a Good Tuesday to ya! 

Do you ever just wake up with an overwhelming notion to do something? Well, I do and today it was making pillows. Better yet, remaking pillows. 

I titled this post vintage pillows and in a way are. I had some pillows that were looking quite worn and really in need of a redo. I intend on using them in my bedroom so I went with colors and fabric I had used in the quilt I recently finished.

Some of my fabrics that I used were quite old so it really brought the vintage feel to the pillows.

The fabric being older also made me want to use some piping to give the pillows a little more strength in the seams 

and I think it also gave the pillows a little more shape .

You can purchase piping at craft stores but sometimes it's hard to find just what you want in mind.

Sometimes the quantity you want might make it a better choice to make it yourself.

I make mine by sewing a piece of cording or natural rope between the piece of fabric I'm wanting to use .

The first pillow. 

You know that just got me started. I played around with different stuff I had until I had satisfied my need for pillows.

Thank you for stopping by.

I hope you're inspired to make some pillows too.

Be Blessed!
