Flower Pillow

I saw THIS tutorial and knew I just HAD to make one :)
I'm happy to say that this was really quite easy and was under $10 to make a fun accent pillow.  I actually found the exact fabric they use in the tutorial, which I really liked and it was %50 off at JoAnns. However, she recommends using the felt you buy on a bolt and I just used the felt squares you can buy four for $1. I had to go back and buy one more so I would recommend buying 5 if you go the cheaper route like I did. I'm happy with the final look of it. I wish my pillow was fluffier or bigger to really fill it out. I made this in just a couple hours!
It was fun, easy project and I really want to make more after I found these great fabrics on sale at IKEA :)

crafting!

Well, the snow found us and we've been staying warm inside but trying not to go stir crazy!

For awhile now, Zaney's been asking me to tie his blanket around his neck so he can "fly". I decided I would sew the boys more official SUPER HERO capes. I googled kids capes and found THIS tutorial. It was pretty easy to follow but for the most part I just made my own pattern. It was a fairly inexpensive project. I let Zane pick out the colors for his cape and bought felt squares for super cheap at JoAnns. I wanted the capes to be reversible for more play options. You can always count on their coupons to help keep your project cost down. I really love how these turned out. I only wish I took a picture of the other side (a batman symbol). I finished these pretty quick (two nights, I worked after the boys went down) I love that I was able to crank these out and see how excited the boys were for a new 'dress up' :)

 now my boys can SAVE THE WORLD!

SISTERS

I love how talented all of you are and I want to learn from each of you! I'm hoping we can get this little blog started and share our ideas, creations and favorites here on this blog! 

I've added a few little side tabs that include some of my favorite blogs I go to for inspiration and fun ideas. Also, if we can add our names and type of craft/project keyword to help with searching in the future. Thanks gals, can't wait to see what you all come up with!
