Kiss Me, I'm Irish!!!

Did you miss me?

I have certainly missed you! (no, really, I have!) I wanted to have my St. Patrick's Day projects posted before now, but you know, life has a funny way of not always working out the way you planned.  So here's my latest project.

I'm sure that MOST of you have some sort of shirt like this...

No? I'm the only one? 

Kidding! 
 

Well, as much as I love the sentiment behind the shirt and I proudly wore it for a few St. Patrick's Days, I felt like this shirt needed to be given a new purpose. So I turned it into this...

Much better, don't you think? 

I thought so too!

Where's The Remote?

Seriously, how many times have you heard that question? 

This was always the dreaded question at my parents' house, because somebody always walked off with the remote. And there would be hell to pay if you were that somebody! 

I saw this idea forever ago, before I started blogging, and I feel bad because I honestly can't remember where I saw it, but the idea was pretty simple and after I started sewing, I remembered it and thought, 'That would make a great gift for my Dad!' 

Behold, the remote pillow!!!

(I know, I'm a genius...just kidding) 

I put "Grandpa's Chair" on the pillow because my Dad currently has as many grandkids as he does kids (that and this way I can tease him about being an old man. Just kidding!) 


I know it's not quite Christmas just yet, so I probably shouldn't be posting this, but since my Dad doesn't really use the computer, I feel pretty safe in sharing this with everyone. I hope he likes it, especially if it really does help keep track of the remotes.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

I've been so busy trying to get all my Christmas gifts made that I almost forgot to show you the new cover I made for my seasonal pillow!  

I decided that I wanted something that didn't scream Christmas, and something that I could stretch out until Valentine's Day was closer, so this is what I settled on...

I'm SO happy with how this pillow turned out! 

 I love the combination of red and blue and the lace trim that I used around the edge of the pillow. It's only the second time that I've ever attempted using a trim, but I'm so glad that I did. Although Amazing Boyfriend has made a comment about it looking kinda frilly, which means that he's not the biggest fan, but at least he's not going to rain on my parade. Besides, he knows I'm probably going to change it in a month or so anyways. 


So in the mean time... "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"
