Pillows and Rosettes

I received a text from my almost-college-bound daughter earlier this week (she moves into her college dorm, next week).   She was helping a friend move into the dorms at nearby UGA.

"Mom, can you make Anna some pillows for her black futon?  Here are some photos of her room." 

I pulled out some scrap fabric and old drop cloths (with one child headed to college in a week, there is NO extra cash in this house to use for fabric, I've got textbooks to buy!!) and I sewed a few pillows. 

I hope Anna and her roomie don't think they are ugly.  But, I guess a black futon is not the most attractive thing, either. 

I found a rosette flower tutorial I liked at Sis Boom.  Very easy.  No sewing to make the flowers.  I am, however, nursing a few burned fingers from my hot glue gun.  The price you pay... 

I bought the printable bike decal download on Etsy at Olive Rue a while back.

And now you know how I spent my morning!  The good news is, it is only 10:00 am! 

Have a nice day!
