I’m going to tell you something that you may not know about me. I love to sew rectangles! I also love to create Mouse Pillows. So here is a little Mouse Pillow How-To for you, using ScotchBlue TM Painter’s Tape to form a great, simple graphic ARROW! So, when I got my hands on a […]
Gilded Mirror How To
Gold is making a come back. Metals are in. So when the Dwell with Dignity Folks asked for the help of the Atlanta Bloggers Group to create the decor for an upcoming makeover for a deserving family, we were happy to help! Erin Spain is the leader for this project. Her blog is http://diyonthecheap.com/. She […]
Heart Garland How-To
And, how NOT to, I suppose! I was going to scrap (get it?) the whole post, because this very simple, but fun low-tech craft was to get us all in the mood for some LOVE. Well, at least in the mood for Valentine’s Day. But when I created the craft, step-by-step, it ended up being […]

So, since Halloween is my all-time […]
Name Pillows; Baby and Wedding
I’ve recently stitched up a couple of custom embroidered pillow covers. You can even find these offered on my Etsy site! www.etsy.com/shop/ACreativEye. For “GEORGE” (the wedding couple’s last name) I used the last of my canvas Painter’s cloth that I got from the paint store. For the baby pillow I used some clearance home dec […]
My Very First Blog!
Wow. I go from surfing fabric.com to clicking on aprons, to stumbling upon the Sassy Apron Swap! She asks for a “Blog” address. Hmmm. Don’t have such a thing. Have a website that doesn’t get many hits, but no blog. I click and stumble some more… I click on the logo for Blogger in the […]
