crafting

I made the little whale that is on the cover of the 'softies' book in my last post, but stupidly forgot to take a picture. I made it for my roommate Coreen's birthday...so maybe I'll ask her if I can snag a picture of it.

I've got two more lil animals to make from it, and I'll try to post those too...but tonight, it's pillows. Pillows are pretty easy to make, and I got a super cute fabric from wal mart, before they started getting rid of all of their fabric.

I'm making the pillows for my room at home, which is being totally revamped between now and the time that I will be moving back home, student teaching, and finally trying to find a teaching job. I'll be living at home and paying off my loans until I can find a decently priced apartment and a permanent job at a high school (at least as permanent as jobs can be these days).

Since I have no idea how long that will be, I'm redoing my room. Even if it only ends up being a couple years, it will be worth it.

Right now, I'm thinking black and white with either a pale blue or pale yellow. I'm definitely leaning more toward yellow.

I also of course cannot wait to go to Ikea and get some new furniture for said room. Hooray for furniture!
