valentines day pillow

my friend bobbie and i decided to trade our bedding,
because we both liked each others, but were really sick of looking at our own.
and the economy is bad, so we didn't want to spend money on a new one.

so last night at 10:30 i got this bright idea i was going to make some pillows for
my "new" bedding.

and as i was making this one...



i decided it was a perfect valentines day gift.
perfect for either gender.
and will last a lot longer than flowers...
and won't make you fat like chocolates!!

for sale
$19.00/each
any saying or quote can be printed on fabric.
comment or email me.

i love the pleated edge...



oh and my husband says the "my" needs to be centered so that is a option also!!!



hope y'all have a great day!

piano bench

hey! sorry for the lack of blogging lately, it has been crazy around here.
we have been finishing off a portion of our basement.
little man has been helping out quite a bit...




in the mean time i have taken up piano,
i had my first lesson on saturday.



i took for several years when i was younger,
but to say it was forced would be a understatement.
my grand parents are letting me use our old piano they have been storing in their basement.
when i got the piano the bench looked like this:
it looks like we used to draw and paint on it instead of playing.




with my new desired interest in playing, i wanted it to look good.
so here is the bench when i got done with it...









i love the fabric, and i as i type this i realize i did not get permission
from my maw maw to do such. :/
next week my post might say "the refinishing of the piano bench"





and yes i put it were my little bench was, but don't worry i have great plans or it.
