This is actually my very first blog post ever! My palms are sweaty and I feel like a skydiver ready to step out of the security of the airplane – taking a plunge into something new, and yet, strangely excited to see what happens on my journey.
My name is Penny and I guess that you could say that this is my Mid-Life Crisis! Ha! I have always had a passion for writing and when time allows I am watching the DIY channel, pinning craft ideas on Pinterest, and recently I discovered Bloglovin’. Needless to say, I am like a junkie looking for my next creative fix. My family and friends can vouch for me – I am not crazy (As Sheldon on Big, Bang Theory would say, “My mother already had me tested”), I just love the idea of escaping from the world for a while and creating. I recently made some really cute Valentine pillows out of leftover dropcloth, stencils, paint, and batting. I think they turned out pretty cute and I am anxious to share them with you.
After cutting out a heart shape on freezer paper for a pattern, I traced it onto dropcloth. Then, I used stencils to decorate the hearts with white, acrylic paint. Simple, right? You could use red paint so that the pattern popped a bit more, but these are multi-purpose heart pillows. I have two friends whose daughters are getting married this summer. Wouldn’t these pillows be precious for decorative purposes? Yep, two birds with one stone!
- This is a picture of the first pillows that I did. I added some ‘bling’ and I can’t wait to show you what they look like now.
I will take more pictures for next time, and I’ll show you how to make some dropcloth rosettes.

Welcome to your first blog! Having benefitted from your creativity in many ways for years, I look forward to the “how to,” even though I’m more of a buyer than a creator! Wishing you the best in this midlife crisis!
