contemplation

I have gone over and over in my mind for months, maybe even years, about having a blog that featured anything but pictures of my family. I didn't want to post with wrong motives. I like to look at other's blogs and observe their creativity and would absolutely hate it if one of my dear friends didn't post every little thing 'cause I would miss way too much of her life.
So I finally decided to post some things that I have been up to and jump into the blogging world.

here goes::

I love to create things I need. I call myself a functional sewer. I am not a huge fan of patterns, I usually just make it and then use it.
I absolutely LOVE colorful things {paper, fabric, pens, ribbon, pictures, the list goes on}, maybe that's why I majored in Graphic Design and had a ton of fun!

My plan:: Share my makings, my thoughts and some everyday life.
{enjoy}

post #2 :: big letters

I wanted to make something super cute and colorful for my girl's rooms with this one fabric I found. I loved every color in it, it's one of those that just makes you happy to look at.

I already had their bedspreads then found a paint that matched, but wasn't too girlie, I covered their letter and made a pillow cover too


first I got the large letter from Michael's, let the kids paint the letter {to involve them a bit} then cut different sizes of the fabric that I also used for the pillows and hot glued them on...I then hot glued ribbon, lace and other findings over the top of the fabric pieces where the seams were to make for nice edges and cover odd spots


 without a head board I felt that their pillow selection and letter needed to pop


this is all of the ribbon I had left
