Goodwill Upcycle

My daughter Kelly loves owls. Recently she went to Goodwill and bought a fitted sheet with owls all over it and 2 pillows. She wanted pillows made from the sheet so I went to work and made 2 pillow covers that she would be able to take off and wash.

I then made a pillow with a little owl appliqued on the back also. I love how they turned out.

I forgot to take pic of sheet until after I started cutting it up.

It has individual owls and also skinny owl families and .... plump owl families. :)

This is the back of pillow I made. I stuffed it just a little so it would be plump.

The fronts of all 3 pillows

The back of the little one.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!! 

I have crafts I should be working on so

...until next time.

Tooth Fairy Pillow *review*

A month or so ago I was at a Toothsoap Party on Twitter and I won a Tooth Fairy Pillow! It's not just any ordinary pillow though. It's personalized! I had Drex's name put on it and a train. Drex's Pops works on trains so it seemed appropriate. I know it will be years before he will be able to use it but it will be at Mimi's waiting for that first tooth to fall out so the Toothfairy can put money in the little pocket on the pillow.

The Toothfairy offers toothfairy pillows and has many different designs and they are adorable! I wish I had one for my girls when they were small. They are the perfect size 6"X8" for little hands and heads.

So when you get ready to purchase one *wink wink* make sure and visit the Toothfairy and choose from 80+ designs and personalization is FREE! She ships in the USA only and she's a Certified Dental Assistant online! That means she knows her stuff!

Pillows..test results and salmon patties AND NEW FOLLOWERS! AKA Ramblings.

I am almost finished with 2 pillow orders....well one is for Kelly but she did order it.

This was is STILL waiting for mw to stuff it.. Can you see what's wrong with it? It's for Nikki's friend and she's a little quirky so I don't think she'll mind.

Still have a ways to go with Kel's but it's getting there. I am not happy with the white background though. Now to figure out what color for the actual pillow...I'm thinking a solid color since the letters are multi-colored.

Dr. called late yesterday evening and said arthritis in hips....:P

He wants to do an MRI on the 25th and said lab results should be back then also.

He says we'll talk about options on arthritis,fibromyalgia and whatever lab results say then. 

I made salmon patties for the first time last night...they were really good. Today I had a salmon patty on a bun with a bit of mayo and some tangy apricot chipolte sauce....OMW! It was so good!

I read several recipes for the patties and used what I liked in all of them to make my own.

Salmon Patties

1 can salmon (I used chicken of the sea)

Green onions-chopped

2 eggs

about a cup of bread crumbs (I smushed up some croutons)

pepper...lots of black pepper.

cornmeal

flake the salmon up and then add all ingreds except corn meal.

make patties and coat both sides in the cornmeal.

fry until golden brown.

We had fried potatoes, beans and coleslaw with it last night but I enjoyed the sandwich best. 

I love fish sandwiches.

Have you tried fish tacos?

Are they good?

I have new followers!

If I follow you and I don't have your button on the right then let me know so I can go grab it!

New Items: Taking Orders

I was playing around and made a few pillows for Christmas presents and just because gifts and now have orders from people who have seen them!

I made 2 Faith pillows for the girls but only have pic of one.

Kelly I will send it soon!

I made this one for Nikki and Chris. It has their last name on it. It looks kind of hard to see in the pic. It's Goodloe in case you can't make it out.

I have orders for pillows like this one more so than the other. The pillow is probably 14 to 16 inches long.

If your interested in ordering one let me know in the comments!!
