Pillows and curtains

After watching my friend Kendra make curtains. I decided to attempt it today. I bought some cute fabric for Em's room and borrowed my mom's machine. They aren't perfect but I am proud of them. I made her a pillowcase and a matching throw pillow

The side window

The big window

The throw pillow and you can kind of see the pillowcase poking out under the sham.

My friends are all making Easter dresses for their girls, and I am jealous, but I think I will have to stick with curtains. After I saw their "Simple" patterns there is no way I can do that yet.

I was just given a new calling this week. I will miss primary and my cute primary class. This was my favorite class to teach. But I am really excited for this new calling. I am over prepadness. If any of you have any ideas I would love to hear them. I am going to be doing 72 hour kits on April 11th. It will be open to anyone who wants to make them.

I am soooooo excited about your new calling. When they said it was you I shot my hand hand up so high and then felt dumb and pulled it back down. I have this book my mother-in-laws ward put together. I already have one, but it has good stuff in it. Good Luck!; March 4, 2009 at 7:13 PM
