At the top of my list for Santa this year? Five extra hours a day!
I got this frame at a garage sale last summer for $2. I finally found a space for it.
Several Christmases ago my sister gave me this framed photo collage of me and my horse, Riley. (Did you know I have a horse? More on that another time!)
For my birthday a few years ago, another cowboy-lovin' co-worker of mine had these cowboy images framed for me!
Another recent project is the completion of new pillows for my loveseats!
I have been debating for months what kind of pillows to buy or make. I have a few burlap ones I made, but wanted something else that was softer and not too busy. I finally found inspiration on a few Etsy shops (thank you My Sweet Savannah and Shawnee23.)
Using two spare pillow forms I had, I made these out of a pair of cream tab-top curtains from the thrift shop and drop cloth canvas. They blend in nicely with my slipcovers (almost too much!)
I want to get two more pillow forms so that I have a set of two for each couch.
Other than the little holly berry and pine cone tree and the old IKEA plaid throw, I have no holiday decor out yet. Not sure if I will have time to tackle that before Thanksgiving but I will say there is a slight possibility that a snow day is in my future next week.....the chance for snow here in the Pacific Northwest is dependent on a nearly impossible combination of elements but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
I 'm off to work on some Jazz projects. I can't wait to share with you what we'll be doing with the space for the holidays!

G'eve Tara ~ What beautiful pillows. Love all the pictures of you & your gorgeous horse. Will be anxious to see how you decorate that frame.
Snow? Wow! Did it get really cold out there already? We may get some next week ... I can hardly wait.
Have a beautiful Thanksgiving ~
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon
Hah! Marydon thinks I made those neat pillows! I'll take the credit any day! I might have to have you show me your technique. I have been trying to cram in a ton of Jazz stuff too. I ran myself so short on time and I've had the little one who is a huge hindrance. Tomorrow big sis and I are headed to that flea market and I am hoping to get stuff done tomorrow afternoon and Sunday cuz I have the little one Mon. and Tues. again.
I love these pillows! Such a great design! I also love the scarves on your last post~ do you have an etsy shop?
Love the pillows...and I agree another 5 hours in the day would do nicely!
Warmest Hugs,

Your pillows look better than the Pottery Barn ones! And I am a huge fan of the black jute webbing....oh and I adore the dirty cowboy hand print photo. Amazing.
Stay warm my dear!!

The pillows are gorgeous!! I'm a little envious of your horse. I grew up riding. I know I've been here before but I just wanted to say how much a really love your blog! It's gorgous!

I actually forgot I did that picture frame for you! I need to update the one of my filly now since she has gotten so big! I actually still want you to get some pictures of me and my horses this summer, with your good camera of course! I need pictures worthy of framing!
Love your pillows!
Hi Michelle! I LOVE your pillows...I saw some of that jute webbing the other day at the store and really liked it. Hope you're having a good weekend :)
Love the pillows...you are off to a great start!
I don't know if we will see much snow at my house. we are to close to the sound. But it certainly is COLD! I am usually done decorating by thanksgiving day but this year I'm waiting until after since I want a real tree.
yes everything is looking so good...bet you are having tons of fun working on it!
