So my daughter is 15 years old and has took sewing class for 2 years now, i bought a sewing machine, and she has taught me how to make pillows. I made 5 so far using the Simply Shabby Chic Duvet Fabric. I made 4 in blue and one white ...They are euro pillows which i cannot get enough of pillows. I also made a throw with the fabric, or wanna be tablecloth..since i cannot afford the Rachel Ashwell one..lol I had to try. Nothing is perfect still have some learning to do, but works for me

in this picture i have to say since i seen Rachel Ashwell's post this Rosary on her blog, i had to take this Photo!! She really is my Inspiration

i took a close up of this book, if you love fabric u may want to pick this book up at Ikea, its really beautiful Great Ideas!

My Toby. Also i have been dying some old fabrics i have, a beautiful Demin Blue, Love the blue and pink together. If you were wondering my old farm table is now on the patio.

This is a close up of my daughters Dreamcatcher, that i made. My inspiration came from Rachel Ashwell, she now has on her website for sale . I bought the one in my bedroom for $110 Dollars and i love it!! So i made one for my little girl and boy, I looked on tube How to make one, you can follow instructions, very easy, just tear the fabric you want to use. I bought mine from the manufacturer. Now Rachel Ashwell is selling them on her online store. I will be very busy for the next couple of weeks preparing for Fifi, shes coming to shoot my home!!! how exciting .... Have a great day !!!

I have been working on Rearranging some sofas....here are a few photos of my home today, i did not prepare for the photos, just took them, so a little messy here and there.

Went to big flea market early this morning and bought a few more goodies,then spent the rest of my day just relaxing at home with family. Everywhere you look in my home you will see something thrown somewhere my chair is covered with blankets and pillows. I did not except to take photos today , but just wanted to share some photos, i love to see homes in there natural environment. So here they are ..
