Valetines love for the Couch.


I"ll call this post "thinking outside the Box"

My husband is in Grad school to get his Doctrate in Physical Therapy so we like to keep our "wallets light" and try to stay creative with what we have. I love that I always have a design challenge on my hands(it keeps my creativity high and I love it).

I wanted some Valentines pillows so I looked at what I had around the house. I found this "piece of gold" (a skirt that I haven't worn for over a year....my theory is if I haven't used something in a year it gets tossed) I new this beauty would work great for fabric for my newly invented "love pillows". So my creativity began. All the other fabric that I used were scraps that I had in my sewing bag.
Price: 0$

(I like to make my pillows envelope pillows
so I can take them off and wash them)
I hope everyone had a LOVELY Valentines day filled with kisses and smiles.

(I'll be doing a weekly post on being creative on a budget ; )
