Fabric covered push pins

Trying my hand at fabric covered push pins using Jessica Jones' (How About Orange Blog) tutorial!

My friend, Cicily, turned me on to these and this is my first attempt at making some.  They are fun and quick to put together and will jazz up any cork board!  The fabric is from Amy Butler's August Fields home dec collection.

What have you been reading?

My husband keeps bringing me home books to read.  I'm loving it!  It's summer and that means "leisure reading" time!   Last night I was reading and my 6yo noticed my bookmark ~ a $1 bill!  How pitiful is that??!!  He thought it was a crack up; I began to let my creative juices flow!

So today, I began working on a set of bookmarks: one for a paperback book, and one for a hardback book.   I love the result, too! I added some cute "bling" to them, which I think is just the right  touch!



These are available at my Etsy shop.   But hurry! I might keep them for myself!
