projects

i have been wanting to paint my house for a while now. so we finally bit the bullet and started. we painted our living room/dining room/ kitchen area last week. here are some pictures. i love the color! (sorry the kitchen is so messy...im in the middle of making a wedding cake)



i've been wanting to learn to sew for a long time and finally decided to start teaching myself. i thought pillows would be the easiest to start with. the first two are pillows i made (the brown one is from the curtains in our living room) the other ones are covers i made to put over our old pillows. i had some fabris left over so i thought i'd make a valance for the kitchen window.








i've also been working on these pillow case dresses. i hope to get some more of these made and some little tote bags and things and open an etsy store. in the mean time if you know of anyone with little girls that would like one of these let me know.

Love the color..looks great..Our house here is all white walls but we are used to it. Another missionary friend calls it "the monastery".

Wow! Those pillows and dresses are great! My girls would love dresses like that, how do you make them?
Also, what kind of sewing machine do you have? I'm saving up for a "beginner" machine.

(Gasp!) Kelli I love it all! Teach us how to make the pillowcase dresses. That would make a great blog post ;)
