Kindle Covers

The hubby got me a Kindle for Christmas! Which is funny because it was not long ago I said I thought the whole e reader concept was silly!  I have since (in the last 2 weeks)  read 7 books and I can not put the thing down!  I thought I would make some cute covers to house my new Kindle and I am having lots of fun in the process! I am still perfecting my design but I think the blue is my favorite style so far!

If you are interested in me making a custom cover for you feel free to email me at boutiquenutmegdesigns@hotmail.com.  I am asking $25.00 + S&H.

The fabric possibilities are endless....

Have you seen the new Soul Blossoms line from Amy Butler

I am in love!   This is the Joy & Bliss pallet.  I have some solids on order and

then it will become a new large wall quilt for my living room.  I can't wait!

I hope you all are having a wonderful start to this new year!

~Christmas Bells~

I have been playing with my camera for The Pioneer Woman's new Photography Assignment.

The theme  Holiday Bokeh Extravaganza the top one is my favorite!

Define bokeh: According to Wikipedia, bokeh is “the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image.”

Hope you are having a Merry Christmas Season!

~Pillow Talk Swap 4~

 I am finished with my PTS4 and it is ready to ship to my partner! I went with the Cathedral Windows designs and choose red and black because she said she liked bold colors!  I hope she loves it!

Handmade Holidays ~Advent Calendar~

I am in LOVE with this design from Trilliumdesign she offer a 2 part Tutorial on her blog!  This is up really high on my to do list!  Unfortunately we are into the 2nd week in December so this may be a project to work on this summer and have for next Christmas!  Check out Caroline's blog for lots of great inspiration!

Handmade Holidays ~ Felt Owl Ornaments

I know I posted about these cuties last year but I have been at it again! I just love felt and I simply love these little owl ornaments.  The  pattern is a freebie from Anna Maria Horners site!  I am getting quite a pile of them, they are now all happily hung on my Christmas tree! 

Stop by Sara's blog she has been sharing her love of felt as well with a fun garland! 

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.

More Handmade Holidays to come!

Spool Garland ~ Handmade Holidays ~

I am getting ready for the holidays and looking for some fun holiday tutorials to share on my blog!  Let me know if you are interested!  I found this super easy tutorial for Spool Garland and had to try it out!

Only I used good old Aleene's Tacky Glue instead of Mod Podge (I did not have any on hand).

I LOVE how it turned out!

I used some of my favorite Jennifer Paganelli prints!

My garland turned out about 12ft long!

I think I will be making more!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!
