Happy NEW YEAR and Happy linking! :) 

Sorry for the short post but I'm still in catch-up mode this week.  Lots of projects to finish up and still one more holiday party to get ready for...and then onto boys' birthday parties early next month...and of course there this little cutie to drool over... ;) - TWO months old today and I love her to pieces.

Hopefully everyone out there is having a great 2013.

What I'm Sewing with This Week

This is a new 'series' I'm starting up and hopefully could keep up.  I get inquiries once in a while about some of the fabrics I use for my fabrics, so I thought it'll be cool to feature some of the fabrics I use :).   Like I said, hopefully I could keep up with this postings.  You all know I love fabrics ;)

So this week my plan is to sew a few pillows for my boys.  Their current [old] store brought pillows are getting a little rundown and quite frankly I have never liked them.  So this is the perfect opportunity to make them some pillows to match their new room decals they got for Christmas:

I'm planning to use these prints - maybe 1 or 2 pillowcases each?

I found a few great tutorials online and had sewn pillowcases a few years back so I am ready to get sewing :).  I'm hoping to surprise the boys with their new bed additions.  Progress and pics to come soon!

Happy sewing this week everyone!
