DIY Hot Pad Tutorial from My Byrd House

With my newest obsession being fabric it only makes sense that I start obsessing about learning how to sew, right?? Just what my husband wants to hear - new obsession = new things to buy. Hey, it SAVES money in the long run right? I mean I WOULD be making things I would normally have to buy at full retail price...things like hot pads, curtains, gifts - oh the possibilities!

Anyways, this great little DIY hot pad tutorial is from Lucy at My Byrd House and looks like something I might be able to tackle (with a sewing machine of course!).

Thanks to the wonderful Craftzine for getting me there!

Putting the Lime in the Coconut

I am becoming quite obsessions with pale lime green for home decor ideas! I am decking out my laundry room with lime green bins and these subtle lime green touches in this dream kitchen from the Inspired Room is perfect! Looks kinda cottagy but trendy all at the same time! Sigh!
