There are so many great ideas out there to turn unexpected things into pillows and I admit I may be developing a bit of an addiction to these easy crafty tricks.

I’ll show you next week!Don’t you love it when you come upon a great new idea completely by mistake?That’s what happened here back in December and I’ve been saving it until Easter to share it with you!.

I’ve really REALLY been craving things that are fresh and green and alive and beautiful lately.It could have something to do with the 2.5 seconds of sunshine we’re getting each day, or the grey-brown color of the world in general right now.I know everything will be bursting into green within 2-3 weeks, but why not help it along a little?.

Can you guess what these bright green “grass clippings” are really made out of?.Here’s how I did it!.

First of all, you want to go clip a few types of evergreen and do a little experimenting.

You want the one that loses its needles at the drop of a hat.The next few weeks are shaping up to be that way too with quite a few room makeovers and a big bathroom reno in the works.

I think it’s important to inject things with a healthy dose of reality every now and again though, don’t you?.Well, the reality is that we’ve been in this house for about 3.5 years now, doing DIY projects, raising kids and just generally being a pretty normal family.

All that normal family stuff can sure cause you to accumulate a whooole lots of junk.Can I get an “Amen”?.
