Reading Pillow! Birthday gift + product testing = PERFECTION!

I made this reading pillow slip cover for my brother for his birthday this week. As soon as he saw this fabric he really wanted something with it, but I already had some plans for me lol. I did come up with this great idea so we could both share in the junk food goodness.

This fabric is up for preorder over at Royal Pixie Custom Fabric, they have some great junk food, and sweet treat prints up over there on this preorder. I was so excited to get this one, and I am looking at the chocolates to order. Check them out and let me know what your favorite is!

You may remember me mentioning I have an embroidery machine? I saved up all my birthday money, and was given some early Christmas money to get all set up. It is so cool to be able to add little touches to things, and really set them apart from other projects. For this reading pillow I put my brothers name on it and 2 of his favorite junk food items.

It is not perfect I admit but this was the first one I had made and was working out a few things. This one is 16x16 which will be the smaller size I am planning to make a 22x22 size as well. They will just be covers because I think the ability to slip them off and wash them is so important!

These can be personalized with so many things and colors. I am going to make my sister one for Christmas and am working on one for myself as well. I love this concept so much.

Cute Bears of the Military - Army Edition

This request came in while I was working on my April Month of the Military Child plans. The timing was perfect! If you have been following me for long you know that I am a Military brat and that April is a special month for me. It is the month of the Military Child and I try to do some fun things through the month and all sales for the month in the past have been donated to Our Military Kids . This year I have some new ideas and plans, more about that later though 😁 I decided this would be a great time to do a step by step style blog post about the creation of these amazing bears. These bears are made from the uniforms of your loved one, they can be made from other articles of clothing as well of course. These 3 were made from one uniform, top and pants, that I took about 5 hours to take apart, all of the pockets, zippers, patches, velcro has to come off to make the fabric as flat as possible and get the most useable space. There are a lot of pieces, and no two will look exactly ali

Month of the Military Child GIVEAWAY!!!

This month I decided to create a little gift collection of sorts that you can win by sharing the pinned giveaway post on my Facebook page and commenting on it. Super easy to enter, but a great package I think. I am going to go into a bit more detail below with each of the 4 items in the package. This is the bear, you will be able to choose from the fabric swatches below which you would like it made out of. No two bears will be exactly alike because of the fabric that is being used, some from actual uniforms, and some that is just printed, because of the design there will be some differences. (These bears are listed on the website for sale as well if you wanted to order others) Next we have a super soft toddler/lap size blanket, you can choose either purple, blue, or black. The saying is the same on all 3, 'I am resilient, I am resolute, I am relentless, I am a Military Child', all of them are the same color on the back with tossed dandelions, the official flower of the Militar

Graduation Gown Turned Dress

Hey y’all! As some of you may know or remember I graduated back in May and I got to keep my gown along with my cap, since I’m homeschooled. Now the next person in my family to graduate still has a couple years to go, and he will probably need a size or two up to accommodate for height so I turned my gown into a dress! I got to work a week or so after I graduated and started sketching what I wanted to turn my gown into. Should I do separates? Should I do a dress? What style of dress? Ultimately I decided upon this amazing dress, now I did have to adjust the skirt because my initial sketch had a long maxi style dress but I simply adore the shorter skirt. And that back is stunning! The whole dress with the exception of the ribbon for the straps, came from the gown. Had to take a couple pictures with my cap, so happy I had all my friends sign it! Now this next picture has a bit of a story behind it: So the day I took pics of my dress, I took my black belt pictures as well. While we
