Doggies chewed a hole in my quilt.
By You Make Me SmileJust looking for some ideas: My doggie chewed a big hole in a quilted blanket of mine. (Not a patchwork quilt; the kind with one layer of fabric, a layer of batting, and some lining) the hole is too big to repair, but since the quilt is rather large (queen size) I don't want to just throw it away. So if anyone has any ideas what I can do with it, I'd appreciate it! thanks!

I used papers that suited each of their personalities and they LOVED them (especially my little niece who stores her tiny hair clips and earings in it).

I'm looking to redo the room in a light/birch-type style furniture, but don't have the money just » READ MORE
Need big art...not a big pricetag
By You Make Me Smile We've been working really hard on our new house and found that the once seemingly enormous budget we'd set aside for redoing everthing came to be a very tiny dollar amount sooner than expected. My dream has always been to have big artwork that's modern, simple, and unique. There are plenty of things I've found that I loved, but waaaaay out of my price range. As I mentioned in my profile, I've convinced myself that I can create just about anything » READ MORE
