I want to add a punch of color to a bedroom that’s looking awfully beige, so I hopped on over to Etsy tonight to look for some pillows. I know I should be learning to sew “unsupervised” at a faster pace than I am (well, I should at least take the sewing machine a friend lent to me out of the box) but it seemed so much easier just to cruise the crafts and support someone a little more motivated by the mighty Singer than I am.
To me, pillows are a quick, inexpensive way to change the look of a room and can be swapped out as the season (or your mood) dictates. And Quiltification had everything I needed under one tidy little online roof. I was kind of hooked as soon as I read Quiltification Charlotte’s bio to learn she’s, “a paleontologist by day and a crafter by night” from Liverpool, UK. How fabulous!
Better still, she sells covers only so I can easily swap out and stow in a dresser drawer. “No fuss, no muss,” as my mom likes to say. Here’s the eye-poppingly-good covers that are working their ways across the Atlantic to my bedroom:

I LOVE etsy. it's my new addiction. I've bought many a great thing from that site for myself and others. always, ALWAYS a big hit.
I am squandering mortgage money on crafty items. Unfortunately some of those items are necklaces and earrings, so difficult to justify as "home improvement" expenses. ;-)
I hear you sister!!!! I can COMPLETELY relate!!
I wasn't going to comment again...but am catching up on your posts...and have to say I discovered Quiltification a few months ago and LOVE that shop! She always has fabulous pillows covers. And...and...necklaces could be home improvement...they improve your mood...therefore improving your home...right?
