This past Sunday, I participated in "Head for the Cure" race! It was such an awesome event. Our team, Sullivan's Sunflowers, was in honor of Susan Sullivan! A strong, beautiful woman, who happens to be one of my best friend's Mom!

I went to "Pier 1" on Sunday & I had not been in there forever! I found this slipcover and saw it marked $15 on clearance! What a find! When I go to the counter, the salesperson told me it had been marked wrong, but he'd give me the sticker price! It was SUPPOSED to be $59! I am using it to cover my desk chair right now!






I have been doing some projects that don't require me to sew. I made two window treatments using ribbon and fabric. Although, this image of a no-sew window treatment looks better than mine!





I also like this sign and mobile and could do something like this in Brynn's room. Right now I have a "Z Gallerie" print above her crib. (I can't help myself...I love to change things around in our house every few days, weeks, months...whenever the mood strikes!)

For years I've collected images from magazines. It started in 7th grade, when I'd clip and paste stuff I found in magazines, and store in a binder. I called them "Fashion books." In more recent years, I had sorted them all by categories, and labeled each binder. I had one for travel, fashion, beauty, wedding ideas & interior design. Then along came, PINTEREST! It's what I had been doing for years, only now on the web! I could not have been more excited! It's a great way to catalog your interests and images you love. It's so much more than that, with tutorials on how to upholster furniture, tips on photography and recipes! It's my new addiction! Here is a link to my boards on PINTEREST.

and here is a great idea, I got from Pinterest....to frame a scarf! I love this suzani print! So now I am on the lookout for one just like this to frame for our family room OR Brynn's room!:)
