Chevron Pillow Covers Tutorial

I Really like the chevron pattern.  I've been trying to find something to make with it. 

I downloaded my pattern from google and traced it onto freezer paper.  I cut it out with an Exacto knife, and ironed it onto my material. 

I used gray acrylic paint on my fabric, and applied it with a foam brush.  I let it dry and then carefully peeled it off so I could do the other pillow. 

I placed a cloth over top the fabric and ironed it for a few seconds to make sure the paint stays when I wash it.  I sewed them up and viola!

I really like how these turned out, and they really add to my living room. 

Here is one of my other painted pillows

I saw it on The Nest and thought I'd make my own.  What design would you copy?

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies I've Ever Made

 

I've made many cookies in my time, though I don't consider myself a baker.  My passion is cooking.  But these cookies were amazing.  I couldn't believe they came out.  You can get the recipe here.  I just made a half batch.  In this recipe you add water to the baking soda, and then add it to your mixture. 

What are your plans for the holidays?  Are you making food or desserts?

Her First Pillow

 This is a long time coming...

 I embroidered her name at the beginning of the year and had all the squares pinned and ready to sew. 

 Finally, this past week I sewed it together and layered 6 pieces of batting on the inside.  I didn't want it to be too thick and high. 

She LOVES it.  She uses it in her crib and also uses it as a seat for cartoons. 

 She took it from me right away, and went on her way.
