PeekaBoo Shower Curtain

What a fun idea for a kids' bathroom!!!! Look at this handpainted 'peekaboo' shower curtain made by A Girl and A Glue Gun. There are 3 places people can peek their faces through. This could also work for a fun picture at a party!

DIY Clock Face

Here's another PB knock-off that rocks. Unexpected Elegance made this faux clock face. I can't believe how it is made. Some people are way too creative. See the the tutorial of this DIY clock face HERE.

Pillows Galore

Last week's Categorically Crafting Pillow Show was amazing. There were 42 links!!!! So many pillows. So many techniques and tips! If you didn't go back a view the end of the show, you should. Here are a few noteworthy pilllows that were inspiring to me.

Learn this cool quilting-type technique (called trapunto) with Make The Best of Things. I seriously need to try it because I like this skeleton key pillow so much. See the trapunto tutorial HERE.


Not only are these PB inspired pillows adorable, but the technique that was used to create them is useful! Learn how to copy images from your computer onto fabric from Thrifty Parsonage Living. GO HERE.

There were quite a few placemat pillows which I love! I wish I could find some placemats like this one! DARLING! See it HERE at Mad In Crafts.

If you are looking to just make a regular pillowcase, Threaded Together has a great tutorial. See the pillowcase tutorial HERE.

Recycled Tire Swing!

If there is a tire swing at a park, you better believe my kids will be giggling and squealing on it! They love these crazy swings. Now, thanks to Under The Table and Dreaming, my husband can build one for them. We've got the tree and a tire! See the DIY Recycled Tire Swing HERE.

Tanks, Circle Skirts and Do Rags

I found a blog with lots of simple sewing projects. I think these three are fabulous! This blog is called Brown Paper Packages!

Make some cute and easy tanks for your daughter (and maybe some for yourself if you dare!) HERE.

These full circle skirts are great for twirling, dance and having fun.
See the circle skirt tutorial HERE.

Make a do-rag as a fashion statement or to keep hair out of the eyes and shade on the head while outside! See the reversible do-rag HERE.
