I’ve been trying to deep clean this month. Nothing feels better than making a room really shine. As I go through each room, I’ve been dusting thoroughly, including my picture frames. They say that half the battle of any cleaning job is using the right tool. And nothing works better at getting into the crevices [...]

Fabric Love and Other Things

My New Year’s Resolution: Don’t buy fabric unless I KNOW what I’m using for and how much I’ll need. It hasn’t taken long, and I’ve kind of broken that resolution already.

Crazy for Zig Zags - HOME SWEET HOME
Crazy for Zig Zags - Not long ago, I was strolling through Anthropologie and noticed a wonderful zig zag pillow that really got my wheels turning. The zig zags were so fresh: geometric and yet meandering. I knew I could make something similar that would be a great fit to my home. My version is softer and less modern… but I love how it turned out. I especially love the technique I figured out for making the zig zags. It would be easy to adapt this tutorial to embellish a skirt, dish towel, or table runner. Check out this tutorial showing how to make a zig zag pillow.
