Monday Made It #3

I have done more shopping than crafting while home in SC.  I'm driving back to NC today and will have plenty of finds to share on Friday!  I'm planning to stop by Ikea on my way up.  Woot woot!  I love that place!  I think I'm just going to look at lighting, but there is no telling what I'll come out with...  So, like I said, I haven't done much crafting this week, but I do have one thing to show you.

Pillows!!

Do you remember the brightly colored shirts I showed you in my Fabulous Finds post on Friday?  Well, here they are - Pillows!!  The idea just hit me last week.  I knew I wanted floor pills for my library, and I knew I wanted them to be bright colors.  Then I realized that if I use a t-shirt, two sides would already have a seam, and I'd just have to sew up the other two sides.  I didn't even bother trying to do the last seam "properly."  I just sewed along the bottom hem.  SO SIMPLE!!  Aren't they great?  What do you think?

I almost forgot!  I did make something else this week!!  I made a "Where Are We?" sign for outside my classroom.  I made it in PowerPoint (make sure you adjust the page size to 8.5" x 11" if you want to make sure it prints correctly), converted it to a PDF, and then used Staples Printing Services to print it on a thick card stock.  It looks great!
