Oh, Deer!

I’ve hopped on the bandwagon of the reindeer craze! If you’re part of it too, you’re going to LOVE this post! While shopping on one of my regular trips to Target, I spotted the cutest place mats for only $3.99! I snagged one really quick with every intention of turning it into a pillow!

Once I was home I had a good bit of canvas I had purchased for another projects from Lowe’s. I grabbed my place mat and traced onto the canvas, and cut out. Before sewing, lay the place mat reindeer face down onto the canvas, and sew the the top and sides, then turn inside so that the reindeer is now on the front and you have three seamless edges. Stuff the pillow and sew along the bottom and voila! An absolutely adorable pillow for under $5!!

Hey, hey it’s Friday!! Thanks so much for stopping by and starting your weekend out with me 🙂
Even though November has just begun, amidst planning for Thanksgiving, I can’t help but think about Christmas! After all the posts I’ve been seeing on Facebook and other social media, I know I’m not the only one!!

Let’s get to my favorites….

1. This is such a gorgeous dining room! I’m in love with the wall color! It gives off the perfect mixture of gray and brown. I must say that Victorian sofa in the back is my favorite part of this room! It screams GLAM and ties the entire space together!
2. I love comfy wraps!! One of my favorite accessories in the Fall and Winter months! Love them paired with leggings or jeans and boots! I would love to have one of each of these pictured, they’re darling! Certainly perfect for those crisp, rainy Fall days!
3. Kind of in love with these dark blue cabinets and black countertops! Far from the traditional kitchen, but it’s bold and beautiful! How do you feel about the floating shelves? I personally, would not be a fan of them, I don’t want to see my dishes on display at all times!
4. Wow, just wow! This living room is absolutely stunning! I love the bold pieces, including the huge tufted ottoman and dark-printed pillows! It looks like the perfect place to curl up with a good book after a long day, enjoying a cup of hot tea next to the fire! Wouldn’t you agree?
