Tuesday after the long weekend is tough, yes? We had such an amazing weekend with friends. It was the kind of three day weekend that seemed to crawl but not in the when-will-this-ever-end crawl way; more like the packed-full-of-fun way. Make sense?
And speaking of friends..........I have to post this little project I did because it's a bit timely (as in, ahem, late). A few weeks back I signed up for Craftaholics Handmade Exchange. You get another blogging friend and exchange handmade gifts.
I was so excited to make a new friend AND give them something pretty.
I made my handmade gift.......and.......
I.LOVED.IT. as in don't-make-me-do-this-and-give-it-away LOVED.IT.
Putting it in the shipping envelope to my gift-y partner/exchanger person was pure torture. I sealed the envelope with eyes closed.
I really, really wanted to keep it.
The sweet fabric rosettes with the modern geometric background.
And the pink ric rac rosette. Tear.
(I used this tutorial for that. Will definitely be making more of these.)
Go ahead. Sit. I dare ya to relax your back on that lil cushion of pretty.
So, my new bloggy friend, Kim, I hope you enjoy! I had a blast making an old fave {PILLOWS} but added a new twist with the ric rac rosette.
