pinspiration friday..... on monday

If you type in Denim Rug into Pinterest, you get some pretty cool, 

Denim rugs.   I first saw a denim rug on Good Luck Charlie. (by the way

I love that show and I think they may have created Amy Duncan after me) 

I thought it would be cool to have a rug like that for where Maddie 

plays. and I have been collecting Jeans for a while. 

So I started cutting... and piecing.... 

and this is my take on it. 

The kids think it makes a cool blanket...

(they only do it because they know it drives me nuts.... ) 

I think it turned out cool... 

broke an entire package of needles... 

Didn't have any denim needles and I am impatient.... 

It was a bear to put this whole thing thru my sewing machine... I did 

stitch on some pockets at the end. I love how that turned out

When I pulled out my camera Maddie ran over to be in the pictures... 

this is her  morning hair... 

hasn't been brushed yet look. 

(she looks a bit crazied eyed in this one... )

She thought it was cute to peek out of her tent. 

(we made that for her around Valentines day.) 

Yup, she's awful cute and sassy.... 

kinda like a teenager but really short.... 

haha.

and in other news I was blessed this week to have 3 photography jobs...

I took did a family with a 2 year old and  a 3 month old on Saturday.

Pinspiration Friday

PINSPIRATION Friday....

Whose with me?

I thought I would share something I made a few weeks ago. 

Inspired by this pillow I found on  Pinterest. 

Isn't she adorable??

I love, love, love old airstream trailers. 

I did raw edge applique (sounds fancy) 

And I just drew out the shapes I wanted to make a pattern...

and then cut them out and stitched them on. 

I Adore Nicey Jane... LOVE is an understatement. 

and I got all this on sale... I think it was about 4 dollars a yard. 

YUP, amazing. 

For the bunting I used bakers twine ... 

turned out pretty. 

Now, this is one of those projects that I made that 

I look at and think of the things I would change. 

So here is what I should have done differently. 

The actual trailer should have been made out of the darker fabric. 

Either the blue or the green. 

and I should have stitched it on using a contrasting thread. 

I decided to add something more so I printed out 

onto my printable fabric 

"Where you go I will follow" 

The back is just some fine whale corduroy  that I had left over from 

the rollie pollie. 

I also made this pillow... 

I  found the pattern somewhere on the web... 

And I can't remember because I am getting old... 

It was a fairly simple block. 

I just happened to turn it into a pillow. 

they are happy and springy. 

Just what our living room needed. 

Please feel free to link up in the comments with anything you have

been inspired by pinterest to make. I would

love to see. 

Have a glorious weekend. 

pinspiration day..... (?)

I love pinterest. It is such a wonderful  place to gather ideas. 

But what good are the ideas if you don't do anything with them. 

So in my attempts to actually follow thru with something... 

I thought I could do a pinspiration day. 

If anyone wants to join along just leave a comment with 

a link to your blog post. 

Maybe a weekly feature.... 

So I saw this wreath a few months ago. 

I fell in love. 

 So simple and lovely. 

Looked like Spring and Summer all rolled into one fabulous wreath. 

I searched High and Low 

(okay only went to 2 stores)

to locate that Green Eyelash yarn.

I found it and bought 2 balls. 

It was on sale SCORE! 

I made a small wreath 8 inches... 

That sucker took a long time to wrap... 

and one entire ball of yarn. 

I then made a little flag on some printable fabric

glued it to a toothpick 

and shoved carefully placed it

in the wreath. 

I like a simple fabric bow so 

I just cut a width of some pink Kona Cotton

and tied a bow. 

I love it. 

It didn't stay on my front door... 

It went to a local shop to be sold. 

Pretty isn't she? 

If you would like to play along.. just leave a comment

with a link to your blog post. 

If this takes off like wild fire.. (ha) 

I will figure out how to host a link party.
