The best part about re-arranging my office space is I am actually gaining a lot of new SPACE. Functional AND decorated? What a new concept for this little room. I brought in a vase and a little plant so far. Some weeks I'll keep real flowers, but for now, I made up a few simple…

I am so addicted. Yesterday, when I picked up batting for the round pillow, I bought three yards of yellow cotton to recover another old pillow we were going to give away. I had gone to sleep thinking about making a ruffle pillow and was anxious to try it out. I feel like I have…

My first project turned out! It's far from perfect (you can't see the falling off button on the back) but it's a pillow! And now I am completely addicted to my sewing machine and am going to start my next pillow in about four minutes. (This one was based on this Design*Sponge tutorial only instead…
