T-Shirt Pillows

This simple fun project came about as we were doing our "Annual Family Post-Christmas Closet Clean-Up". It's a great time to clean out the old to make room for all the new treasures that Santa gifted.

My husband had a couple of much loved t-shirts that were still in great shape, but were getting a little snug after so many trips thru the laundry.  I hated to just trash them or give them away since he still loves them.

We racked our brains to think how we could still get use from them.  After some back and forth ideas my husband came up with the perfect solution, why not make them into pillows for the basement couch!  Done and done was my response and here is the result, or at least the first result!  I still have one more pillow to go.

This is a great way to keep all those treasured t-shirts, especially for your kids as they grow out of their favorites.  It's also a great way to save a memory like a vacation, family reunion, concert or event t-shirt.

If you are interested in instructions on how to make your own t-shirt pillow leave me a comment and I will post a tutorial.

So Sad

Well I didn't get to go to Art In The Park last weekend.  My poor little baby had an ear infection that we thought had healed up but it flared up Friday night sending us to the doctor first thing on Saturday.  

I was sad not to go the the art show but am SO happy that Payton is now feeling better.  I heard that it was a great show though and am planning to go next year.  

Since I couldn't go look at crafts I decided to start some new projects.  I made one of the pillows from my earlier sketch.  It's the cupcake pillow, so cute!  I have some great fabric combinations set aside for more of my sketched pillows.  Can't wait to find some time to do another one.

This weekend we are off to Royal Oak for the Garage Sale and Antique Show.  They fill an entire parking structure with vendors selling some great finds plus the local stores are having sidewalk sales.  I can't wait to go it is always so much fun.  A lot of the area neighborhoods hold garage sales as well!

It is also the Farmington Founders Festival this weekend.  We were out of town last year (our first year living in Farmington) so we missed all the fun.  This year we are going to fit it in after the Royal Oak trip.  It will make for a long day but sweet dreams that night thinking of all the great things we saw and fun we had.
