Out with the old in with the NEW
i love getting fun new things for my house, but WOW is it expensive, so in these times of penny pinching and budget saving, i found my self at Target wondering around, hoping to be inspired with all their spring stuff they just put out. I have been looking for a new table runner for the small table by my front door... the ones i loved were a bit pricey so i decided against getting them and then ....BAM --->a GREAT idea<--- this idea came to me in the linens section....PLACE MATS! .....here's what i came up with.....
i found these two place mats that i LOVED...
Sewed them together using a binding stitch...

and WAH-LAH my new table runner!

That is so beautiful! See? you tell me three place mats and I think hmmm... not so sure about that, and then it is so amazing! You need to open a store or something! I love it!

So... can I keep you on retainer? I need you to come do your magic when I finally move into a house. You are the most creative person I know. This calls for a "Dang Gina.." Love the grass plan on it too. I'm bowing down to the goddess of craft, can you picture it? :) Love you. P.s. I agree with Andi. I'm on the logo now that school slowed down.
