I make these new covers for my throw pillows to add some additional colors to the room. it really helps to brighten things up inside when it isn't very bright outside. And an easy change is always welcome this time of year. The best part is that these little covers take about 5 minutes to whip up, and you us whatever fabric you feel like! We already have alot going on in our living room, so I went with a solid color, but a funky fabric would be adorable! My husband made the wooden buttons for me, and although he said they looked like pig snouts, I thought he did a great job!

I personally would love to see what you're working on or what crafty Christmas gifts you whipped up for your loved ones (Rachel that means you !). Even if you paint a room or find a lovely bouquet of flowers at Safeway, please share! I think we all need a some fresh inspiration and creativity to get us through to sunnier longer days. Here's some photos of some of the things I've been doing at my house. Please share your projects and inspire us! </div></div><br /></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02716961255968545364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032837418776235865.post-35489001076634086672008-10-22T15:09:00.001-07:002008-10-22T15:09:54.540-07:00free scrapsI have two grocerie bags full of scraps of leather (suede I think) black and tan.

It's size 2, in pale blue linen with white stripes. It's a variation on <a href="http://sugarcityjournal.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-patterns-in-shop.html">Sugar City Journal's Village Frock pattern</a>. (By the way, I talked with a prominent craft blogger who reassured me that it's fine to use these types of patterns to sell for nonprofit fund raising purposes. She just said you need to be sure to give credit for the pattern on the tag. Thers some great free and for-purchase patterns on some of these blogs that are a lot of fun and super cute.)Mackenzie Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12317921469992925814noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032837418776235865.post-15820348562261086902008-09-15T10:58:00.000-07:002008-09-15T12:07:18.148-07:00Tag "Sailors" at Work! :)Hello Ladies!

At the Jankovic's home, in the back yard from 7-9 p.m.<br /><br />Just to make this event more exciting, we will also have a craft/art supply swap. Bring any old fabric or other crafty/artsy goodies and take anything you want. You do not have to bring things to take them, and you do not have to have made a single thing for the Jolly in order to come. Please come and give ideas, drink strawberry lemonade, and just join in the fun of preparing for the Jolly.

I particularly like this project because the kiddos can do their thing with the play-dough while you craft up some of these cuties, guaranteed to make any cake or cupcake cheery and party ready. My sister and I made ours out of the Sculpey clay, then varnished them after they had baked and cooled.

Over all, I think they were pretty successful, considering I ran out of yarn and and thread by the end! They are very simple to make, just a bit time consuming. But the little tail just makes them worth it.Averyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921311072432592318noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032837418776235865.post-16534346753993348142008-06-10T20:50:00.000-07:002008-06-10T21:02:12.058-07:00Puppet mania<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dJdQLczKIyk/SE9MYJM1N0I/AAAAAAAAAKE/8OdXk7imKxs/s1600-h/IMG_1178.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210467271561262914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dJdQLczKIyk/SE9MYJM1N0I/AAAAAAAAAKE/8OdXk7imKxs/s320/IMG_1178.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dJdQLczKIyk/SE9MY6Ux_-I/AAAAAAAAAKM/j1hUrPc1DUA/s1600-h/IMG_1173.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210467284747943906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dJdQLczKIyk/SE9MY6Ux_-I/AAAAAAAAAKM/j1hUrPc1DUA/s320/IMG_1173.JPG" border="0" /></a> I learned how to make this fun, versatile hand puppet in college. This particular one is called a "neutral" puppet because it has no eyes or mouth and allows the operator to decide what kind of mood the puppet is in, or what kind of expression he is making. The pattern is fairly simple (my favorite of all the puppets out there) and I'd be happy to teach anyone aching to learn. :-) But I warn you, some stages are tedious and waiting for the glue to dry is the most boring part. The most expensive supply item is probably the stryofoam ball that forms the head, but even then you can get 'em 2 for $3 or so. And then there's lots of hot glue invovled. (Yes!)<br /><br />These guys are a little fragile, so I'd probably want to aim them at slightly older children who might be cruising the craft fair, and who have big enough hands anyway.<br /><div></div>Nelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02153760496922539704noreply@blogger.com1
