Bird Pillow for Christmas and Beyond

I found this cute bird graphic the other day.  I love, love, love anything with birds on it and love that I can incorporate it with my Christmas decorations.  Of course I intend to keep it out long after Christmas!








I started with this graphic from The Graphics Fairy


I printed it off on Jolee's Easy Image Transfer Sheets using my inkjet printer.





I cut around the edges.


I used a Ritva pillow cover that I bought from Ikea last year. 


I put the pillow cover over a board and a pillow case.



I followed the directions on the Jolee's label--twenty seconds on each part, lift up carefully, then set the iron back on another place.  I made sure I got each area several times for 20 seconds each.



I let it cool for 10 minutes, then carefully pulled the backing off of the transfer.

And here's the finished pillow.  Easy and Festive!







Thanks for your visit!

Simple Spring Table

I am so excited for nice weather to arrive!  It's been beautiful here for the past few days, but snow is forecast again next week, so we're not quite there yet. 
In the meantime, I can make my dining room feel like spring.
I started with white dinner plates and added these yellow salad plates from Pier 1.  I found the plaid napkins at HomeGoods.  The napkin rings were an eBay purchase a few years ago. 




The tulips and daffodils are looking so pretty.  I'm excited that this picture shows the sky at "Blue Hour".  I learned about that from  Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch.
Our dining room is the first room you see when you walk in.  It's so fun to see the spring colors in here! 
Thank you for your visit!  Happy Spring!!

New Art from an Outdated Sign








I replaced some things on the wall in our game room and put the old things in the Goodwill pile.  It then hit me that I could reuse them and create something new.  Out of the 'out' pile and into the garage for a redo.




I sanded off "Movie Night"





And painted it a light blue.




I then found a saying that came with another rub on transfer I had used in my guest room from A Great Impression.   I'm glad I hung onto it.  Perhaps I was inspired by the Pope's picture!






I bought these three little birds several years ago.


Put them all together and I've got updated, free art!




Thanks for your visit!
