I’ve got the Crafting Bug.

I have a long queue of crafts in my head that I want to do. this. week.

But it will more likely be strewn out over the entire summer.

But I did just finish one.

 

The story goes like this…

When we moved from Utah, we had to fit a 2700 square foot house into a little U-Haul. So a lot of our things didn’t make it down with us. Including most of our furniture.

We got lucky in Arizona and scored a free couch.

But it was white…

 

 

Made cuter by our kids.

 

 

But how long could that last.

Really?

 

 

So we got something else for free.

A used sofa cover.

 

 

Made cuter by our kids. (And Santa).

 

 

 

But a little bit difficult to decorate around…

The way I would like to, at least.

 

So with a little bit of this years tax return I decided to take advantage of a big sale and get a new sofa cover.

 

 

 Chocolate.

 With pillows.

 

 

 

Made even cuter by our kids of course.

The pillows were all different materials and textures.

But it needed some dimension.

So I made this.

Pretty cute, huh?

I used the pattern from here but the gluing instructions from here.

(Let’s face it - I’m the first to admit that if I can avoid using the sewing machine, I will).

    

Now on to the next project…
