Tween Dream Pillows | Basic Sewing

You’d be surprised at the amount of homework and activities a tween girl can have. Between getting all “A”s in school and going to archery lessons (ahh Katniss – inspiration to tweens far and wide), Colleen’s daughter needs all the sleep she can get. And she’ll sleep well on these cool, richly-hued pillows. Colleen is an expert sew-er, but these pillow cases can be made by even the most beginner sew-er.

Oh Canada. Our home and DIY land | Canada Day Table Runner

I usually don’t pull out all craft stops for Canada Day the way I do for Easter, Christmas, Valentine’s and everything else in between. An extra day off is often spent at a cottage or on some Ontario beach. This year, though, we have a few people over, so I decided to make a quick, festive backyard BBQ table setting with a hand-stamped burlap runner as masterpiece. You know me, I am a runner girl in more ways than one (have a look at the grass Easter Table Runner I posted for Easter – ps: great recycle for a summer outdoor setting with colorful flowers — but I am getting off track).
