Pottery Barn Pillows {look a likes}

I saw these pillows in the Pottery Barn catalog and really really wanted some....

but they are $36 a piece!

I found an awesome tutorial here and I made my own!  

I would have to say I am quite proud of myself as sewing is not one of my favorite things and often times when I start a sewing projects it sits for MONTHS...but not this one, they are DONE and I love how they turned out.  

They are going in my daughters room.  Her room seems to be the project that never ends...I just can't get it just right...but it is getting closer!

Thrifty Lace Slip Covers

 {I LOVE PILLOWS} 

I have tons of pillow forms but nothing to go on them.  So with a little help from my AMAZING mom....We made some thrifty pillow cases!   From a white sheet we made the white slip covers that you can see under the lace, and for the lace overlay we used the lace curtains that used to hang in this house.

For the white pillow case we just did a traditional slip cover that overlaps in the back.  For the Lace I didn't want to cut off the ends, as you can see it is so pretty!  We just made a traditional pillowcase that slides right over the top!  Super simple and cheap!
