style school - pocket pillow number one
my first style school project complete! i did this a little bit differently than the example. mine is a 16" envelope style pillow. the back matches the big polka dot pocket fabric. i started to do a photo tutorial, but it got too annoying... this thing made me sweat! sewing a trim around a pillow is stressful. also, i've never done applique before, so i just kind of made that up as i went along. i like the large pocket. you could keep a small book in there, or tv remote controls or something. someone special is going to be receiving this as a christmas present with a little treat tucked inside! :)
ps. elyse, you're in trouble for not writing your blog yet!

ninainvorm - totally adorable "re-decorated" ceramics
i saw this plate on weheartit, followed the link to the blog ninainvorm, and found myself in a world full of completely adorable hand screen printed "re-decorated" ceramics
you can check the ninainvorm etsy site right here, or by clicking any of the photos above. her flickr is also loaded with pretty eye candy, especially her set "making the house a home."
ps. it took me 2 days to write this blog. every time i sat down at the computer, the little girl needed to be tended to! and tonight when i finally had time, typepad was acting wacky. so frustrated right now!
elyse, my new co-blogger
i love my sister! so i asked her to co-blog with me here on cicuska. i have no idea what she is going to write about, so we'll see!
elyse! and my dad and chip in the background. she asked me to use this photo for her blog introduction. her hair isn't really that long, those are extensions that i put in. they look good right?!
i am going to make her write a blog to introduce herself, but just a few tidbits: she is the BEST and my best friend :) her nickname is "dinks." she is an x-fashion design major, now arts and crafts major at vcu in richmond, virginia. but ultimately she wants to be a gastroenterologist (at the moment). she's really smart, pretty and crafty. i love her and i'm sure you will too!
