I had to have it!

I was wandering Hobby Lobby the other day and came across this great "plastic straw" rug. On CLEARANCE! Normally $59.99 (which is absolutely insane for a plastic rug in my opinion), but on clearance for $29.99 then 1/2 off of that. I tossed it in my trunk and away I went.

I brought it home, ditched our brown outside carpet on the patio and put this baby down. Well, who knew that when I rolled it all out it would be such a great match for another fabulous Amy Butler fabric? WHO KNEW, I ask you? Well, maybe me. haha.. When I saw the big lotus/mum type flowers I went immediately to my favorite place - Etsy - and found these fabrics. And this, my friends, is how I spent my 1 hour of quiet time.

Oh yes, they are lovely. Oh yes, they are the coordinating prints on either side. ON YES, they even have a zipper on the back so I can pull them off and wash them up! Toddler friendly, husband approved. :D

Oh how marvelous, OH HOW WONDERFUL....




Yeah, I know some of you may know that as an oldie but goodie hymn, but in this case, I am referring to my marvelous and wonderful new pillows! haha.. It really takes so little. :D

I realized some time ago, that I was not really enjoying any of the fabulous fabrics that I purchase. I drool over them, then wash them (haha) then I make something and sell it. Rarely was I making anything to enjoy myself! So, I picked out some fav's and whipped up these pillows.

I love them.
D & J love them.
Everyone is happy and we now have fabulous pillows on the couch!

Ahhhhh... the hallway bench is next! :D
