Camo Animal Pillows

A pillow I made to highlight

whimsical, handmade, fabric animals

that the 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders made

at my son's school.

They were raffled off as a fundraiser.

I love the camo background!

Pillow Collaborating with Kids!

Kids are so naturally creative.

These funny little fabric animals

were made by some students at my son's school.

I added the background, by making the patchwork pillows.

voila'...cute, stylish home accessories

that would fit in any specialty boutique!

All inspired by 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders.

You will see more of our collaboration

over the next few posts.

Something From Nothing

We love to juice!

Anyone that has juiced carrots knows

that you end up with a humongous amount of pulp/fiber.

We didn't want to through away it's goodness

so I hunted for some easy recipes to utilize it.

I found one for a raw carrot cake type thing...

it was amazing!

A bit more like pumpkin pie and completely decadent. 

Throw all ingredients in a food processor and press in a pan.

After a bit in the fridge...

this is what you end up with!

yes, this is carrot pulp!

...and as usual,

no dairy, no eggs, no wheat, no refined sugars.

All real food.

Brought to Life

This is my latest creative passion!

I have listed a bunch of these little zipper pouches

  in my ETSY shop

Creative Potential Etsy Shop

I am now on to making new patterns and will be posting about them soon.

I LOVE FABRIC!

It just makes me smile.

The Birth of an Idea...

This is where it begins for me...

a pile of random fabric.

I love the challenge of coordinating

and working with what I have.

This assortment became a series of pillows

that I helped make for my son's school.

It sparked and renewed my love of sewing...

more to come.

Creative Canvas

We LOVE a group of restaurants called

California Pizza Kitchen.

In addition to great food,

they all have very clever artwork.

They display hand painted and decorated pizza boxed framed in acrylic.

Each is different...

different art, theme, colors,

but the frames are all the same

which unifies the eclectic assortment.

Just shows you that ANYTHING can become a work of art!
