Okay folks, it's getting crafty up in here

Well, guys I'll have a really fun announcement for you all in a few months. It has to do with fabric. But that's all I'm giving you. You'll just have to keep reading to see what it is. Maybe I ate a bolt of fabric? Maybe not. Who knows? Well, I do. But no  one else. You'll find out soon.

Until then, I'm going to be getting a little crafty up in here! I'm looking to repurpose the stuffing inside my lumpy old pillows. Anyone know if that works? I was going to wash it one more time, you know, lump it up real good. And then take out the stuffing and try to fluff it up? I was thinking back to college and a class I took on felting and thought that the technique used to get all the wool fibers in line would work well. Carding. I don't have any carders here (and think they probably couldn't handle my lumps of fabric either), but I do have one hairbrush and a comb. I thought between the two of those and my super human strength I could probably take the lumps and turn them into something reusable? We'll see.

So what was the point? Oh, what I'm going to make. I thought I'd just make pillows. You know, take old pillows, make more. I might even take apart the old pillow covers I made for my tiny ikea pillows and use that fabric. A whole repurposed project! I'll take a before and after picture. After though. I want some fun pillows, and we're redoing our couches eventually, so I'm not sure what colors. So I was going to make fun fish pillows for our TV room. How about that? I see there are a few tutorials on fish pillows out there, but none that I'm dying to make. So I'll make my own. You want? I want. Here's what I've found out there that I sort of got the idea from.
