Finishing Projects

My goal for 2015 is to finish projects that have been on my list, are half done or ones for which I have materials laying about cluttering up my studio.  With that said, here is a project that I finished this week.  I have a beautiful quilt made by my friend Racheal and I felt that I needed some coordinating pillowcases to dress up our bed and highlight that lovely quilt.  I used this "burrito" style pillowcase tutorial which is very well written and easy to follow.  Making pretty pillowcases could become addicting.  However, I need to focus and turn back to my list of unfinished projects!  See how easily I become distracted.  Hopeless....

Cozy Little Houses

The weather outside is frightful but I am up in my studio creating cozy little houses from cast off pieces of cardboard.  I was inspired by Terri's beautiful houses and had to try my hand at one.  Good thing all that glitter hides a multitude of sins.  I love the way it looks when lit up.  I tried to create a little scene in the picture window cottage with some depth.
