absolutely amazing. i am jealous beyond belief!

I vote a deep eggplant purple or a deep sage/warm green. Something in a heavier weight (like an upholstery grade farbic) with a bit of texture to it! JoAnns often has great upholstery fabric in their flat-fold section! I got this awesome deep purple for 4 bucks a yard! I think those colors would also work well with the tones that you have in your room. You can always still pull colors from the paintings and frame them in black, too! That's my personal opinion! Of the fabric you showed I would choose the tan and grab some awesome pillows and a throw. If you ever want to change it up, you wont be stuck with a bright blue couch!  good luck!

thank you, thank you, thank yoU!!! you guys gave me the courage to post these for sale in my etsy shop! yay! hopefully someone else will love them as well!

so thanks to e.r.i.k.a.'s amazing lined zippered pouch tute, I got off of my booty and got to stashbusting...

i haven't sewn since about 5th grade, but i recently found a 70s Singer Fashion Mate machine at a garage sale for all of 5 bucks. so i finally quit procrastinating and sat for a while and fought with it and these were the result!!!

all of the fabric I used I found at various thrift stores and have been hoarding it forever- it felt good to put it to use!

i love them but i fear its like that unconditional love you have for your own child... ha ha!  i would LOVE any comments/criticism! Thanks for looking!











sorry if the pics are huge! photobucket and I are working out our differences...

this is awesome. definitely already hit "this rocks"!

i'm curious... did you follow a pattern or tutorial or anything? I saw someone mentioned that earlier but I never saw a respone and I am dying to know! it's amazing- you did a GREAT job!

oooh thanks for the heads up-- i used colorsilk-- ya know the stuff that's like 3 bucks. I'm sure that's bad for your hair... oops!

jadegreen- your hair is awesome! I really like the pin up hair, too!

thanks for the tips, ladies!

thanks batgirl! I'm just afraid that they will look ridiculously fake! have you done your own before? does anyone have photos of ones that they have made? i'd love to see!

Here's a pic of my hair now, the color is out of a box so I'm assuming that I can just dye my extensions the same color? Also I'm thinking maybe I'd just dye brown/black underneath? Any help would be superb because i am desperate and poor and you guys are always so knowledgeable!

Ok... so I hope this is okay to ask here but I am uber bored with my hair and don't want to pay a salon for it... has anyone here tried the hairdo extension line from Jessica Simpson. All though i am not a fan... these extensions look retard-proof which is completely what i need! My hair just won't grow any longer! Has any one tried them or something similar? I don't want to throw money away on something thats just a scam! Sorry if this isn't okay! Just delete it if not! 

thanks gals!

I saw this hat and picked up knitting again.... it's adorable!

your shirt is adorable as well- where is it from?! i want it!

[love]

awesome! you do beautiful work!

(and i love your hair)
