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!

An Old Washboard for the Laundry Room

I love old washboards and was so happy to find one on our local Craigslist last week.

This one has great graphics and the glass is in perfect condition.  What better place for it than the laundry room.

I made these "Mod podged with Graphics Fairy labels" laundry detergent bottles a couple of years ago  HERE.

I collect scales and was going to redo the one on the end, then decided I kind of like it in here, especially with the rusty pointer.

  I filled some blue canning jars with old clothespins, clips and spools of thread.  The chicken wire basket holds dusting and mopping cloths.

Last summer I found this copper washtub.  We use it in here for dirty towels. 

Thank goodness I have a modern washer and dryer.  I can't imagine the work that was involved in  doing laundry back in the day!

Thanks for coming by!
