Watching Paint Dry

You may have seen that I have been trying to get all of my trim work painted.

  Unfortunately, my personality does not like to accept the fact that paint needs time to dry.  I have tried to be more patient and frankly it never works!  It has caused my to have some issues with my projects in the past.  But, this time I had a plan…yeah!

Why not have several projects going at one time…smart, huh?  That way I can work on other things while my paint dries…I am so brilliant!

I needed pillows to go on the two chairs that I have in my bedroom.  I contemplated recovering the chairs and decided that maybe just having new pillows would work.  You can let me know what you think.

First, I started with a roll of muslin that I found for $3.99/yd.(but of course had a coupon for 50% off)!  I measured the back of the chairs to determine what size the pillows needed to be and cut it out with my handy dandy rotary cutter.

Then I quickly sewed up the sides.  My room is such a disaster right now and I certainly didn’t feel like hauling my machine downstairs so I had to sit “criss -cross applesauce” on my floor to get it done!

Then I stuffed the pillows.  Pillow inserts would have looked way better but you have to use what you have on hand I guess.

I have worked out a few of the lumps since this photo was taken.

Then I hand sewed little crocheted flowers onto the pillow.  Found the the flowers at the Hobby Lobby for $2.99 plus 50% off.  Probably cheaper than I could have made them for…if I knew how to crochet!

Aren’t they cute!

Would love to know what you think of them! 

I have been saying it for a few weeks now, but this may be the week that I finally get my master bedroom d-o-n-e!!  And if I do,  you will be able to see these lovelies in their complete element!  No promises though!

Have a great day!
