Ok.
So my favorite part of fall is cuddling up with a pile of blankets and pillows with my fireplace a-going.
Too bad Arkansas isn't up with fall yet... though today finally got cool-ish! :)
And I'm all in fall-decor mode.
So when I ran into Wal-mart for milk today after church, I stopped in my tracks when I saw these:
The cutest Leaf placemats! They're velvet-y on one side and silky on another... and they are totally double-lined! Yay. Cuz I had a plan :)
They were just 3$... maybe a little too pricey for a placemat...after all we can make those, right?
But not for my plan...
My husband rolled his eyes when he realized I wasn't just carrying back milk.
I also grabbed a bag of this stuff:
And got to work while little man watched his new favorite movie: Aladdin.
All I did was find a seam to rip out...got a hole big enough and stuffed the stuffing in.
Easy, peasy.
And LOOK!
Oh my word!
They were even cuter than what I thought they would be :)
I love that.
(Blogger won't let me turn this around...sad times)
I mean, how easy can you get?
I'm in love.
I bought four... so I've got to get to work on the others... but I had to show you!
They just add the perfect fall touch!
And I got that bowl and bag o' pumpkins at wally world too... hubby really rolled his eyes :)
I love the bright colors against my brown couch. They make me smile.
Now just imagine a whole pile... makes you smile too, right?
Happy Fall everyone.
Hope yours has started feeling that way more than ours :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!! I've seen these placemats, but making pillows would have never occured to me. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute. If I made those my little boy would pike them up and jump on them. LOL
