Happy Hump Day! Glenn and I spent the day moving sofas around and re-arranging the basement.. lol! All because of the new custom sofa slip cover I just had made to match the love seat cover I had done last year. Click here to view the blog I did on our loveseat showcasing the magnificent craftsmanship of my friend, Ellen. I loved how that one turned out so much, I decided to have the matching one done and do a switch-a-roo to bring them back together as a paired unit.
Hank immediately approved, and made himself at home.
Ellen had some extra material left over, and generously made me a pillow cover to stencil. It was super easy and took me 10 minutes, so I wanted to share it with you.
Items needed:
- Pillow cover – mine is Cotton Duck Cloth
- Stencil of choice – I used our Initial
- Paintbrush
- DecoArt Acrylic Paint – I used Dazzling Metallics Champagne Gold
- Cardboard to protect cover
I highly recommend DecoArt Acrylic Paint. They manufacture the highest quality acrylic paints on the market. I have used this paint for several craft projects, and I am always highly satisfied with it’s performance. I wanted to keep the pillow neutral, and thought Champagne Gold would accent it perfectly.
Make sure you protect your material from any paint bleeding by placing a piece of cardboard inside.
Just center your stencil, holding tight the edges to prevent the stencil moving or paint bleeding outside the edges.
Easy! Let it dry and stuff your pillow inside 😀 Instant new accessory!
This candle is amazing by the way. It’s Sage and Citrus from Antique Candle Works. I just adore these candles; they are hand poured and arrive in mason jars, and other vintage inspired containers. The wax is made from domestically grown soybeans and fine fragrance oils. The best part is Antique Candle Works is practically our neighbor, because they call Lafayette, Indiana home. Go over and say hello, and tell Brittany that Martha sent you 🙂 Right now she is offering 10% through the month of February, and if you sign up for her newsletter, you will be alerted of her next flash sale! You won’t want to miss it!

affordable website design says
March 22, 2017 at 1:34 pmHave you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
But think about if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more,
“pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos,
this blog could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its field.
Amazing blog!

March 21, 2017 at 5:50 pmHi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility
issues. When I look at your website in Safari, it
looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that,
awesome blog!

you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple
adjustements would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your
design. Many thanks

March 21, 2017 at 4:47 pmMy coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the
costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several
websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another
platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
