What do you get....

by on
What do you get when you're browsing through MarthaStewart.com? Like me, your brain probably starts going in all sorts of directions with new ideas. So what do you get when you cross these 4th of July decorations with a pillow? 




You get this!  :)




She's a little lumpy. I've got to let the kids bash her around a bit, but since this was my 2nd attempt at this, I'm very happy with the outcome. I don't know if she'll stay in my house or go in the shop which opens up July 1!  :)

Here are some more shots of her. :)  I did not do a tutorial on her, because my first idea....well it didn't pan out so well, but I will tell you that for the center medallion I used a scrapbooking mask and traced around it, then just colored her in. I picked up a bunch of these masks at Michael's, because they were on clearance. :)

    thank you for all of the comments! I was really nervous about this pillow, mainly because its round and for some reason circles and I do not get along. :) Yet I still try to woo them. :)

    In theory and execution it was easy to make, but getting the gathers right was interesting. I have another idea with the clock face but I need to put my room back together first :)
