White Wednesday...

Easy pillow cover...
I wanted a big white ruffled pillow, but of course could not find what I wanted, I already had a 26" pillow so I thought I would make a cover...

I love the simply shabby line at Target...

and I am always looking at there clearance, I found this ruffled window panel...

love the detail, and its a heavy fabric...

measured a inch bigger...

with the extra after cuting I put right sides together, overlaped the back pieces where the pillow slips in, the great thing was the edges are already hemmed...

super easy!!!

and I have leftover fabric for a small ruffled pillow.

I am joining Faded Charms White Wednesday

corsage & boutonniere...tutorial..

Wow, what a busy weekend!!!!!
so, so sorry I haven't visited you...
six basketball games and one baseball and PROM!!!

for this prom I decided to make the corsage and boutonniere for my son and his girlfriend.  When they went to formal I was in shock at how much they cost, $29.00 for the corsage and  $15.00 for the boutonniere, and they said that was a discounted price for buying both together!!

I bought a pretty bracelet, $16.00 and made a charm, a large button ( already had) and some ribbon ( .99)...

went out to the garden and picked some little lavender roses and lemon balm that was blooming...

attached the button to the bracelet...

bundle the flowers together with floral tape ( $1.00, dollar tree)..

tied it on to the bracelet...

then added the charm!!!

this way she gets to keep the bracelet and charm.

the roses look pink, but are a light lavender...

the boutonniere was the easiest,

a couple of roses, lemon balm, tied together with floral tape...

then ribbon added!
