I Really Wish I Could Sew | Pioneer Woman Home & Garden. A sweet friend of mine sent the girls and me a box of adorably adorable owl pillows this week. She doesn’t sell them, doesn’t have an Etsy shop…she just makes them. I think they might be the sweetest things I’ve ever seen, and I think they’ll be precious in the girls’ new room.

I don’t know what it is about owl pillows. Or owls in general. They’re just so charming. It must have something to do with the eyes. I love this vinyl detailing. Vinyl? Which brings me to my current fixation: I really wish I could sew. But when I see things like this, all I can think about is that I really wish I could sew. I’d love to be able to grab a pile of fabric scraps and turn them into…an owl. I love this one.

Boo! It would take me approximately eighty years to make one of these pillows. That’s because I’d keep taking breaks to go cook. And eat. So maybe it’s best that I don’t know how to sew. If I did, I might be tempted to make things like this. And then nothing would ever get cooked in this house. Yep. Ahem. The Daily What. Woodstock Handmade Houses. | W5RAN. Design daily news. Visual News. Prince Of Paris. Julius Hofmann doesn’t illustrate invented stories. He portrays what is inside him: doubt and fear, possible danger and threats, and he plays with temptations, metamorphoses and masquerades.

His stories come into being during painting, and are made with brushes and paint, and also with saws, cutters, cardboard, glue or on the computer. Their meaning changes, is expanded or deleted, often faster than they came into being. Julius Hofmann is a filmmaker. Hofmann feels connected to the romantic artists, who always left something open, something to guess at.

Julius Hofmann makes a breach in the wallpaper of our daily image mania and gives us a view of his world.

Later this month, I will be throwing a pumpkin decorating party! Emphasis on “decorating.” Instead of intensive carving, I am inviting my guests to embellish their pumpkins using unlikely materials such as rhinestones, spray paint and even lace. I’m planning on picking up plenty of craft supplies for guests to get creative with during the party. Below are 10 fresh takes on traditional pumpkin décor that will be inspiring my craft supply shopping list… Enjoy! 1.
