scarf pillows







For years I have never been able to get the above images out of my head.  I instantly started searching ebay for Pucci scarves after I saw all of the pillows in these photos.  I still search for Pucci scarves when I am thrifting.  No such luck yet.  Hmmm....I do however have a healthy collection of other random scarves.  I think I may just need to considered making good use of my scarves & turn some of them into pillows.

A room frozen in time...





As the story goes, There were 2 princesses who shared a bedroom & it sat frozen in time for over 2.5 years.  Their Momma started out decorating a new big girl when the news of their cribs needing to be put to use else where at the arrival of 3 new little brothers.  Mom worked hard & even recruited Baca to put paper up behind the beds.  Being 3 has it's temptations because some little princesses found great joy in ripping the paper off of the wall even though their Momma said NO THANK YOU.  Then Momma decided to wait the princesses were a little older & much more mature to repair & finish the room to avoid any harsh feelings because surely they would mature when they hit 4.  Now Momma has to paint the bookcase, make a chalkboard, have Nana sew some bolster pillows, make & hang the new light shade, make a cushion for vanity chair & repair the paper behind the beds.  Then & only then when Momma is through then all parties involved can all be whisked off to the ball.


Seriously I am hoping that if this blog is good for anything then it will be good in the accountability sector.  I really need to get motivated to finish the girls room.  I thought that if I threw it out there I would surely have to come back & report on the status.  Probably sooner than later, right?

At least I got the mirror frame painted & ready to be converted to a chalkboard.  Next is the cushion for the vanity chair....




While painting the frame a dragonfly showed up again.  I think this is a sign of great decorating luck.



Time to get crackin...
