As promised, here are pictures of the pillow covers that I made last Saturday. First, I'll start by showing you the original drab, brown ones. Well, in my opinion they were. Dwayne seemed to like them very much. Said they were manly...not my idea of great taste in decor! Anyway, here ya go.
This is how they looked before:
See, not very attractive
Fabric I found at Wal-Mart...the red with polka dots jumped out at me, and I hear it's always best to go with your first instinct when it comes to this kind of thing.
Ta-Da! Totally adds a fresh pop of color to the room
On the one pillow I added some pretty detailing, with the help of my mom (Thanks Mom) She made the little ruffle and sewed it across the top of the pillow. Then she let me dig through her button jar and I found a few nifty contrasting buttons to add below the ruffle.

And there they are. Super easy to make, trust me, I'm not very handy with a sewing machine and these were a cinch for me. Also lots of fun.
My next project is this:
The giant floofy hanging light!I found the tutorial on someones' blog, (i really hope that its ok that I copied the picture into my post).
I'm not going to make one nearly this large. I want a much smaller one to hang in the babys' nursery. I'm really excited to see how it will turn out, I'll be sure to let you know.
