Welcome to the Pinterest Challenge, hosted by Erlene of My Pinterventures! In the challenge, held once a month, bloggers like myself tackle a project we've pinned. I've been thinking of making cushions for my kitchen chairs for some time. I finally found this pin by DIY Candy on how to make a chair cushion with chair ties. This pin shows how to make an entire chair cushion from scratch. (Creating the cover, stuffing the pillow, etc.) The pin inspired me to make DIY envelope cushion covers (with chair ties) for inexpensive $5 chair cushions that I found at my local Walmart. The cushions Continue reading...

DIY Dreamcatcher Wall Decor
I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day weekend! Today I will be sharing an easy dreamcatcher wall hanging that I made for the hall bathroom reveal that I shared last week. The day before my hall bathroom reveal post was going live, I decided that the room needed another piece of wall art. I was inspired by the cute pom-pom strewn "dreamcatchers" by Maggie Holmes Design. The style of this dreamcatcher is really simple to make. It doesn't feature the weaving found in a traditional dreamcatcher, but it's still very pretty. Dreamcatcher Supplies Wood Embroidery Hoop Antique White Continue reading...
