New Project Up
My poor Bernina has been lonely lately, it just hasn't seen as much action the last few weeks since I delivered Easton - thankfully, I gave it a good 'workout' before I delivered! One of the projects I worked on was this Pillow Slipcover which is now on The Sewing Republic website. In addition to writing up the instructions, I added a few tips on how to personalize your new pillows. One of my favorites - taking a black and white print and using fabric markers to color in the designs to your liking (I've done this to one of the pillows featured on the site).
I also have to brag a bit on my oldest who competed in Mutual of Omaha's Drive Chip & Putt event yesterday. She took top five (out of 41) in the putting portion of the contest!
Of course, I can't leave out the newest member of the family.... here's Easton doing his impression of Derek Zoolander's Blue Steel:

My mom, who was a very thrifty crafter, used to buy inexpensive bed pillows on super-sale and then divide them up the center to make TWO inserts. They came out rectangular but she managed to stuff them into a variety of shapes. Ha-ha.
Congrats to Taylor on her putting expertise!

Love the blue steel! We say Carlynn is an ambi turner when she is admiring herself in the mirror- a little left, a little right.

Congratulations to Taylor because putting is the hardest part of golf. If I could improve my putting I could improve my golf score so much.
Also I tagged you. I understand if you don't have time, but if you would like the directions are on my blog. Thanks Blakely
