Placemat pillow in progress

The pillow is coming along nicely.  I have most of the embellishment completed.  The pillow is stuffed and I only have to finish it up.  It is really cute.  I think you will agree with me when it is completed. 

Placemat opportunities

Don’t you just love this little placemat? I found it at Big Lots and it was the only one they had. I bought it knowing that I could do something with it. Originally, I thought about making a plastic bag holder but now I am leaning toward making a pillow out of it. It is lined so that is no problem. I think with a few additional embellishments, it would very cute as a pillow for the summer time. Check back with me to see what happens today as I decide what to do!

Martha has nothing on me!

This is a basket of eggs that I have decoupaged over the past few days. I really enjoyed doing this craft. I started with plastic eggs, napkins, and mod podge. They are really pretty, even if I do say so myself. And, I finished them just in time for the Easter season!

Happy Easter!

Easter via Martha

I love Martha Stewart. I just think she has it all together. Never mind the arsenal of people working around the clock to make sure she looks good and to make all her crafts. I just think she is amazing. Anyway, the following pictures are from Martha's site and they all are about Easter.

When I grow up, I want to be just like Martha. It's a good thing!

I want a "Letty's Bag"

I was surfing the web and happened upon this purse pattern called Letty's Bag using grommets. Now, I have to make one. All I need is the pattern ($10), grommets ($13), a free motion quilting foot ($25), and time! I already have tons of material so that is no problem. Let's see, if I order all of the above, the purse will cost me $23 not including the free motion quilting foot. That's not too bad. Maybe, I will order it as a birthday present to myself! Don't you think this purse is adorable?! This is a picture from Robin's Quilt.

This is another "Letty's Bag" from Sue Salinger. It was also on Robin's site. So pretty!!!
