What to do with all those adorable drawings and priceless art work from my 3-4 year old? I'd been trying to think of something, then I found this Einstein quote, and it all came together. I scanned in Teah's artwork with the quote and had them printed on 12 x 12 canvas squares. My favorite is the one on the right, when Teah saw it, she said, "That's you, mommy, when you were mad. You look like a boy, huh?"
I can't take 100% credit for this idea, I found some really cute pillows online that I didn't want to pay for, and thought I could make them. So this is my attempt. (No, I'm not that great on the sewing machine- for the lettering, I used "Unique Stitch, Sewing with a tube"- so easy!) and I put a cute fabric
on the back of the pillows, making them, in my opinion, cuter than the internet ones!This house is bringing out my "decorator" side, and I have some fun purchasing and creating ideas that I'm sure I'll be posting about. So consider yourself warned- if you're not into home design, avoid my blog for the next several... months? years? who knows. It could take a while to clear all these bottled up HGTV, design blogging, design magazine ideas.

Those are such good ideas you inspire me. Thanks. Watch out world here I come.
Wow, Holly! What awesome and creative ideas! They turned out great! BTW, love the house. I would love to see it-complete with all your decorating touches!
Those are so cool. They are so cute. Love them...what is the unique stick sewing tube thing?
You do look like a boy! :) Nice work sista!
thanks! the Unique Stitch stuff is a tube that looks kind of like Neosporin, but it's fabric glue. It's really easy to use.
Okay...so you totally have to fill me in on the canvas things....so cool! Great job! You're bringing back a lot of memories! I didn't want to move anything old into our new house...but of course, when you're building the budget is tight and not a lot of extra to spare, so I made a ton of things too as knock offs! It's the only way to go! Great job!
I want all the nitty gritty details on how you did the canvas'. They are AWESOME! You are so amazing! Building a house, have time to be artsy-crafty and sentimental. Fill me in!
absolutely darling!!
on the canvases- i put them together how i wanted the scans and words on photoshop, saved it as an image (.jpg) then you can take them somewhere like inkley's to have the picture printed on canvas. i like to use winkflash.com they have good sales once in a while.
how do you come up with all these ideas? i seriously need to hire you to come decorate my house. i can't wait to see your house all done. it's looking good! (and huge!!!)
