Two Small Projects!

Good Evening Bloggers! It is cold in Myrtle Beach tonight! The weather channel is giving ice and some snow for us tonight. If we get ice all of Myrtle Beach will shut down. Drivers can't drive in any kind of increment weather here.LOL
I can't believe tomorrow is Monday already. This weekend really went by fast. I did manage to get a couple of small projects done. I thought I would share them with you.
Hope everyone had a good weekend and every one is well.!!


This is a pillow I sewed and embroidered our Monogram on! I think this project turned out pretty well!! These are the colors that will be in our house,with a bigger emphasis on the creams and browns. Our sofa and love seat is burgandy, so I have to keep them for now, so I had to put some burgundy in the decor.





This is a really old pillow case. I needed something to do that was quick and easy so I decided to Valentine it up a bit!!

  2. Wow! Beautiful. BTW - Nobody can drive on ice. Doesn't matter if you've always lived in snow country or have 4-wheel drive or anythings. Actually, they used to have studded snow tires,.....

    Yes, my "little" boy and girl are now 47 and 42 and sometimes, I look at them across the room and they are little again. Especially when I see them in my grandchildren. :)
