Wedge Pouf

*Drum roll* My new sewing machine arrived yesterday. Just a basic Singer nothing as cool as my Mother's Bernina (infact her mother's).. Oh wait did I just use the word 'cool' for a sewing machine? I must be hallucinating! I used to hate it when my mother spent days and nights making bed spreads and dresses and repairing even the seat covers of our car! Why don't we just give it to the tailor? I'd ask. Well Well..Now I  just wish I had learnt something back then! On to business now:


Galeria Kaufhof sells this under the brand name of Desigual. I was there last week and picked it up. The label said 49.00 Euro. Would I pay that much for a pillow? Notgonna happen!
 Thats my version! It cost me nearly nothing! I had the fabric scraps from previous projects. All I needed was a sewing machine..It arrived at 1 pm and I was half way through making this cushion at 3pm. I even surprised myself!

I will do a mini tutorial some other day. Check back if you too want to save 49 Euros on a Desigual pillow!

Storage Bin

How many times have you caught yourself complaining about diaper changing time..especially on the days when the poop machine gives you a bonus every half an hour? However, today I happen to be loving the jumbo pamper carton. You ask why..have a look.

I got this inspiration from pinterest. I used a deco foil (wall decal) to transform the carton into a storage bin. My husband has a sticky habit, when it comes to tidying up..when he can't think of any other place for a thing he puts it on top of the cupboard in our entryway. Not a pretty sight to be welcomed with :\
 Now we have a nice storage place for all tidly bidly-could-be-used-someday things.
I'm planning on making some for my bedroom too..but this time I'm going to use Fabric for a more sophisticated look. Waiting for the next Jumbo pack to arrive!
