Spent some time today working on my website.  Yep, it's pretty basic, but it's a start.  I plan to spend some more time with it, but figured I should give my new blog a whirl, too.  

Anyway, I have a few blogs that I enjoy checking out and found a cute little tutorial on one of my favorites, thecottagehome.  This project is similar to another I had done in the past.  So, I thought I would give it a try.  My pics are below.  This quick project involves turning a double-sided place-mat into a throw pillow.  I decided to make a matching set.  Currently, I'm thinking of doing throw pillows for several holidays, but tweaking it as a friend suggested (thanks, Heidi), to reduce the amount of storage space needed to pack them away.  Perhaps adding a flap, buttons, snaps, or a zipper on a side or back would work?  Plus, getting them AFTER the holidays on CLEARANCE would save even more money (thanks again, Heidi).  As it was, I made TWO pillows for less than the cost of ONE similar pre-made one I could have purchased at the same store I bought the place-mats at.


Check out my pillows below.

AL, thanks so much! I can't wait to get some of that creativity out of my head and into something tangible. Have a wonderful day!
Love, Candie

    About me...

    My name is Candie.  Many labels describe me including wife, mom, friend, and independent consultant.  However, alone, none of them capture all that I am or love and there are too many to list.  Some of my likes include cooking, crafting, and creating.  Reading, camping, and spending time with my family also bring me joy.  I love my life...
