So here’s where I’m at for Kennedy’s “pillowscape” so far.Is that a thing?

Anyway, she wants a horse pillow too, then I think that will be it.. What do all you real sewers think out there?Did I do OK for a first ruffle attempt?Thursday, 6:26 p.m..I sometimes wonder what homework time looks like for the families of the other kids in Kennedy’s class.. Here’s what ours looks like: Juice stained face, half worn-off temporary tattoo and all.. Read more about my perfect moments.I had a great idea.

I really love those round rattan place mats that everyone has, but I sometimes have pretty large groups for dinner, so I would want to get about 10 or 12.With the cost of them, it just didn’t seem like the smartest investment right now..

And guess what I came up with.I’ll be learning tons about blogging and DIY as well as hanging out with some of my very favorite bloggers!

Can’t picture it?It’ll be just like this:.

…only I probably won’t be laying in grass and hopefully it will be a little less awkward.I can’t wait to share the whole experience with you!
