Recently, I recovered some dingy pillows in my living room and they’ve given our space a nice fresh feeling! I used my trusty sewing machine to make some really simple, fold style DIY pillow covers and every time I make them, I think, “why don’t I do this more often?!” Alas, I cannot take credit for these easy DIY covers.

It was so interesting to see the most recent traffic stats though, somehow people are still stumbling onto my blog and the numbers are still up (I used to check regularly and probably haven’t looked in over 5 months!). What can I say, life, the job, and family have kept me very[Read more]
