Nautical by Nature - Summer Pillow Project
I live 1 block from the beach and although I am grateful for what some people think is an excellent location, I am a tiny bit envious of my neighbors who has the beach in their back yards. This summer I have decided to remedy the situation by bringing the beach inside. To that end, I have designed some nautical themed graphic pillows inspired by my coastal surroundings.

I drive by it every day - it has become the backdrop to my life....
Another Pillow Project
My friend visited Sierra Leone last year and upon his return, he presented me with some beautiful pieces of brilliantly colored fabrics. One piece immediately caught my eye. It's a bold green, yellow, orange and beige stripe fabric with gold accents. It was perfect for my semi annual couch update. [caption id="attachment_1301" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Gold Striped Accent Pillow[/caption] I made two 20" x 20" pillows covers and used them with existing feather inserts.

Sand Dollar Napkin Rings
I am going through my coastal decor phase, so I have been creating a few accent pieces for my home. Here is the first of my creation - they are napkin rings embellished with sand dollars. [caption id="attachment_1290" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Sand Dollar Napkin Rings[/caption] This was a very simple project. I used strips of vinyl shelf lining, silk ribbon, some glue and of course, sand dollar. Here is how I made them. I cut 4 strips of vinyl - 12 inches x 2 inches. Curl the vinyl around to form a cylinder/tube (circle). Secure the ends with some quick setting...
Its a Jungle Out There
[caption id="attachment_1243" align="alignleft" width="219" caption="going Vertical"][/caption] I am running out of room in my back patio garden - it's getting a little crowded back there. The logical thing would be to stop buying plants, but I am not a logical person - well I have my own brand of logic. I decided to go vertical. I have a lot of unused space on the walls, so some shelving should do the trick. I stopped by Ikea and picked up some inexpensive shelves and wall hooks. The the Water-resistant MOLGER shelf is perfect for the covered back patio. It's Solid birch...
DIY Outdoor Monogrammed Drop Cloth Pillow Project
I am in the process of doing a mini make over on my back patio. I am planning to spending a lot more time out there doing hand embroidery - I have a few unfinished projects that I would like to complete. I wanted to add some pillows to my patio chairs - the plan is the more comfortable I am, the more I will get done:) [caption id="attachment_1152" align="aligncenter" width="401" caption="Outdoor canvass drop cloth pillow"][/caption] The Pillow Process Out door pillows are relatively inexpensive - you can pick them up at any big box store for between $13 and...
