V and Co: how to: faux pleated pillow i have a thing for texture. i like it. katie's room has a lot of texture. with ruffles, and gathers, she's got enough pillows in her room (because she steals them after i make them and hoards them on her bed...i just let it go) but the boys? not so much. naturally i would choose to make something for my sons' room that is not on the ruffly side, so what's a mom to do? PLEATS! now in my head i kept thinking wouldn't be cool if i could do a few different shades of solids with pleats? i could get there a few ways...but i came up with this idea of creating faux pleats using one roll up of kona solids. from one roll up you can make 3 of these pillows (which by the way is perfect for my family because i have three boys) you will have 1/2 strip left over of each color (from every pillow), so you wont feel like you are wasting good money, and well you can probably find some project to add those strips to later on. so shall we start? what you will need: -start off by unrolling your roll.
17 Things You Might Not Have Known About The Lion King Call it the circle of life: many kids who saw 'The Lion King' in theaters when it opened in 1994 can now take their own kids to see it when the 3D version hits the cineplex on Sept. 16.

And he looked at all the old masters and he looked at sort of medieval arts and religious iconography. There was still a modernity in the way that the fabrics were developed. In McQueen’s Words Harper’s & Queen, April 2003 “For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me.

Each ensemble corresponded to a particular chess piece. The queen wears a short, thigh-high dress, which is wide at the hips, a silhouette based on the eighteenth century. A kimono collar, obi sash, and an undershirt beautifully embroidered to look like tattooing are all drawn from Japanese culture. In the runway show, the models moved as if they were pieces in a life-sized chess game, an idea inspired by a scene from Harry Potter. Naomi Campbell: Everything was extreme.
