 I have been on a bit of a stenciling kick this summer...


stenciled projects


I stenciled a Chevron rug,  a Spray Painted Circle Rug, and then I tackled my kitchen window with some Faux Roman Shades and some painted pillows for my kitchen banquette.






And yesterday I stenciled this rug for my family room -- only with thicker stripes!! It turned out SOOO good!! I'll be sharing that soon. 





I thought it might be fun to make some pillows for my Kitchen Banquette with Royal Design Studio stencils and some white and patterned napkins I found at Target. {these are the Chain Link and Lattice Endless Circle Stencils}





Super easy!!

Here's how to make them -- 

Stenciled Napkin Pillows

  1. The first thing I did was I mixed up some paint and Martha Stewart’s paint medium. This makes the paint softer and washable.

  2. Then I laid the napkin on my work surface and taped the Royal Design Studio - Chain Link Stencil and Endless Circles Stencil over the top with some painter’s tape.

  3. I used this really cool roller top that fits on top a container and it makes stenciling a breeze. It’s also from Martha Stewart’s new decorative paint line.

  4. Once it was painted, I laid the napkins out to dry.

  5. Then I sewed another napkin to the stenciled side and added a zipper.



So now I have some fun pillows that go with my new kitchen décor AND they were super easy to make!!

I love Royal Design Studio because they have amazing, modern design AND their stencils are made out of the highest quality materials and they have guide marks that make lining up the stencils on a wall a breeze.

Have a Fantastic Friday!!!

 **Back-to-School**

My kids started school last week --I'm not sure where the summer went! We have some traditions that we love to make going back to school special for our kids. The first is documenting the first day of school.



Last year my friend Kami introduced me to Chalkboard Bubbles and I had such a fun time documenting the first day of school with them!! I did the same thing this year- it's so amazing how the kids change from year to year!! 












We also have a special Crepe Party right before school starts. 


It's a great special occasion where we talk about goals and plans for the up-coming school year. 






Today I'm so excited to have a special Back to School giveaway today from my favorite store -- Target!! 




Target is the place where we get the majority of our clothes, including back to school clothes. I LOVE that Target has great quality, fashionable clothes for such amazing prices. If you see my family or I on the street, the chances are about 100% that something we are wearing comes from Target.



Target's Cherokee line is one of my favorite Target lines. We were just there last week looking at Fall coats and Hannah found this black wool Cherokee peacoat that she loved.









Want to win some $$$ for back to school clothes for YOUR family??


Target has given me a $100 gift card to give away to a TT&J reader!!

My friend Susan is an amazing seamstress. She creates fabulous, modern items that she sells in her store – Freshly Picked. I found out that Intuit is having a Love a Local Business Campaign, and I’d love to help her expand her business to the next level with a $25,000 grant. Wouldn’t that be awesome??







I met Susan last year at my Holiday Cookie Exchange. She has the most darling little boy and we just hit it off. Her little boy left his stuffed bear at my house and I ended up mailing the bear back to them. I was so surprised and delighted when Susan sent me a handmade wallet as a thank you.




It was my first real introduction to her shop and I fell in love with her items!!







She makes the most amazing little children’s moccasins! What a heirloom to keep.







Plus amazing modern pillows, walletsand bags. They kind of have a nautical vibe.










And, Susan also has a blog – Freshly Pickedwhere she shares all sorts of awesome ideas and tutorials, like this Crafty Tool Belt. I love it!







As soon as I heard about Intuit's Love a Local Business Campaign I knew I wanted to nominate Susan since she is local to me and her shop is so inspiring!!
