Our sweet friend Kinsey has been having fun decoring her and husband's new loft apartment. Today she shares a simple tutorial for creating matching His and Her pillow cases!
1. Supplies: Pillow cases, red and white cotton fabric, adhesive letters. You will also need to have scissors, sewing pins and a sewing machine! 2. First, cut a large heart out of the white fabric. Make sure it's not bigger than your pillow case! We made our heart wider than normal because when the pillow is in the case it tends to make it bulge, making it look less wide. 3. Next, apply the adhesive letters. You can buy a pack of letters at your local craft store, or make your own out of contact paper! 4. Once you've applied the lettering, flip the heart over, facing down. Begin pinning large squares of the red fabric on the back. This will be the background of the lettering so be sure that all of the adhesive letters have fabric behind it. 5. Next, slowly stitch around all of the adhesive lettering, sewing together the red and white fabric. 6. Once you've sewn around all the lettering, remove the contact paper! 7. Next, you'll slowly cut out each letter. Make sure you only cut through the top layer of fabric! 8. Lastly, cut the heart down the middle and sew it to the pillow case! We used a simple top stitch close to the edge of the fabric to prevent as much fray as possible.
These so adorable! Thanks so much Kinsey for giving us a peek into your too cute bedroom.

Killing me with cuteness! However, those would never last a night — the almost-hubby and I tend to swap pillows or somehow manage to kick them to the foot of the bed or all the way off at night!
Very cute DIY, though! Kinsey did a fantastic job.

You are frustrated, sad and lonely, and sometimes you feel nobody cares. If you feel you are stuck in the wilderness in a situation that appears hopeless, you should know that you’re not the only person this has happened to. And there is something you can do about it! Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and it appears whatever they do, they can’t get out of the quagmire. If this describes you, don’t give up. The situation is not hopeless. The prophet of goddess spells can turn things around for you,be it lost love,make someone sexually attracted to you,lose weight,stop smoking,get a promotion or raise or come into huge money,alter your future to bring forth happiness and success.

Hi I just watched a clip finauretg one of your recipes on The Best Thing I Ever Ate . It was Michael Symon finauretg your restaurant and your recipe for sausage gravy and biscuits. That is one of my favorite foods of all time and yours looked absolutely wonderful!! I live in Traverse City, MI so quite a long way away from where you are. My oldest son is returning home after serving several years in the U.S. Navy upon a nuclear submarine. I would love to fix this for him when he returns home, but I did not see the recipe on your website. Would it be possible for you to e-mail the recipe to me? I would be very grateful to you if you could do that. I am sure my son and the rest of my family that will be returning home for his homecoming would be very appreciative. Thank you very much Denise Carpenter
Julio Herrera Posted on Boris, una consulta, tengo la neaseidcd de NO mostrar el precio al publico a menos que este logueado, ya he visto algunos foros en ingles pero no me convencen mucho las soluciones planteadas (todas son muy diferentes), tienes alguna idea de como solucionar esto???, saludos y gracias.
With the first day of Trivia now done (24 hours down, 30 to go), we’re in 18th place with 2,625 points. Festivus miintaans its 1st place position, but with only a 30-point lead on the 2nd place team.My favorite team name? Dyslexics are Teople Poo! (They always have an imaginative name. One year, they walked into a bra.)

The sofa pillow with the dnctiistive difference it’s also a remote control. Never again will you have to ask, where’s the remote? And you’llnever lose this remote in between the cushions. Because it IS acushion with a built-in 6-in-1 universal remote control!a0
This is awesome! Would you conisder printing out the stencil and selling me one? I don’t have a Silhouette. Also, have you conisdered giving your material a ‘tea’ bath to make them look more vintage?Thanks for the inspiration!
Great. I am making this and was wondering which end of the pillowcase it was best to see the heart to. It looks like the closed end but I can’t be sure. Thanks
