Bed Refreshment!


It's been quite awhile since I've posted on our blog....I hope everyone is doing well!

Around Christmastime, I decided our master bedroom bedding was getting dull...the old was becoming....well, old....not to mention, I was completely bored of the colors!   So, I found an inexpensive white quilt and decided to bring in my own colors.  (No, I didn't make the quilt....I wanted something on the spot, ready to go!)   What I love:  if I get bored with THIS color scheme, I can easily change it!    

I spent an evening making pillowcases....9 in all...and what a fabulous look it made with the new white quilt.     It was an inexpensive option compared to purchasing new pillow shams + throw pillows, and I got to choose the colors I wanted!   

Here's a peek at the new pillowcases....that is Pebbles (Chihuahua) sitting there in the middle, looking oh-so-comfortable!

And here is a swatch card I made, showing the huge lot of fabrics I combined to get this look:


Yes, it's a huge mix:  I tried to combine both feminine & masculine in this grouping....by using some of the pieces just for pillowcase borders, it was easy to incorporate a big variety without some of the prints being too over-powering.  

In case you want give this a try, I've put together a bundle that will let you make 6 pillowcases, they are my favorites from this aqua-blue grouping!

 
 
If these aren't "your" colors, that's okay....the possibilities are endless, as this idea can used with your favorite colors and prints!  
 
Consider using some of those pieces in your stash you love,  but just haven't had the heart to cut into....this way, you can enjoy them every day!  
 
It's great to have a fresh, new look....and I love the sense of accomplishment!

Summer Recipe & Amy Butler's Cameo!


....Hello Friends!....

 

It's SUMMERTIME in Texas, and we are loving it! One of my all-time favorite summer meals is Taco Salad.    The big bowl I made this week:


Here's the recipe if you'd like to try it!  
I'm sure it's quite similar to many out there, but we absolutely love this one!

TACO SALAD
1 LARGE head of lettuce, chopped
1 can light red kidney beans, washed & drained
2-3 cups shredded cheddar  > in my opinion, you have to put in alot of cheese!
1 package Nacho Cheese Doritos

1 lb ground sirlion + 1 pkg Taco Bell Taco seasoning

about 10 oz thousand island dressing (buy the regular 16 oz size & you'll have plenty!)
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons medium salsa

Preapre meat & seasoning accoding to package directions.   Prepare sauce by stirring all together in a separate bowl...I let it sit a little so the sugar dissolves.  Toss all together &  add Doritos last.   

TIPS:   only add a few Doritos if you think you'll be saving some of the salad as leftovers (they get soggy & you can always add fresh ones as you go!)  If you don't have enough dressing, just toss a little more thousand island and a bit of sugar together, then add to the salad.

ENJOY!  :o)

...........

Look what's coming
from Amy Butler!

CAMEO, due July 2012!




You can pre-order if you'd like to reserve your yardage!   We will ship your order as soon as the fabric arrives.   Pre-orders are cut off the bolt first!  We won't charge you for the order until we actually ship your package.    :o)

Happy weekend, everyone!
