Photo Pillows

I originally made these pillows as a 50th birthday gift for my girlfriends.  They were a big hit.  Since then I have sewn up pillows featuring families, new babies, and even newly married couples. 

To make your own you will need to purchase fabric, ball fringe and photo transfer paper.  Make sure the transfer paper is colorfast.  This will ensure the image will not run if it should get wet.  Follow the directions to transfer your photo to fabric then add your favorite fabric to the top and bottom of the photo.  Next sew on the ball fringe and finally add the back.  Put the pillow form inside your masterpiece and you have your very own photo pillow. 

Our next sale is October 20-21 at Occasionally Yours 1850 East 121st Street, Suite 106 in Burnsville (www.occasionallyyoursstore.com).  If you love this idea but don't have a sewing machine or don't have the time to put it all together we will be taking orders.  Send us your favorite sepia tone photo-family, friends or man's best friend and we will sew up a gift everyone will love. Fabric choices are either burlap and black ball fringe or leather/fabric and off-white ball fringe. Sizes are small (12 inches by 16 inches) or large (20 inches by 26 inches).

Hope to see you at the sale!

Craft Show

For the past five weeks we've been preparing for a craft show in our area. It was a lot of hard work, but it was also a lot of fun.
This was our tent that we set up and took down ourselves (we're all about DIY here). We barely managed to cram everything into our 20x30 space.

One of my favorite parts of the weekend was catching people staring at my pink hair. :)
These were all of the things we had been making over the past month. Etched mirrors, headbands, shadow boxes, etc. If you particularly like anything that we haven't already done a tutorial for, feel free to request one.

This is our new best friend, Sarah, who bought one of Josey's quilts. Thanks again, Sarah!

And thanks to everyone else that came and said hi and complimented (or even bought) our stuff. We hope you'll continue to read and keep up with this blog as we continue to craft.
We also have an occasional sale coming up in October! More details on that as it gets closer.

P.S. This was our favorite part about our neighbors across from us. :)
