New Sorority Styles

I have some new chevron sorority pillows, available at both Sugar Magnolia in Oxford, MS and the Etsy Shop.  These have been hot sellers.....great gifts for bid day, big sis/lil sis, and initiation!

These are available in 16" square or 12"x16" lumbar...most of the pictures are the lumbar but all styles are available in either :)








The Tri Delt & Chi O are available in this fun new mini chevron as well!  










These would also make fun little Christmas presents for friends....it's just around the corner-ah!!  I have a Christmas pillow for this year that I absolutely LOVE...I can't wait to get the previews out!  Be looking for it in the next few weeks--Happy Monday!

Dorm Room #1 for 2011--Ole Miss

Hello all!  I've got quite a few dorm rooms this year, so I'm gonna blog about them as I go instead of one big jumbled post at the end :)


I came in at the end of these girls' room, after they had already found most of their stuff.  They actually got my card at the fabric store because they told them I made bulletin boards, but I ended up making several different things (but no bulletin boards-ha!  they are still trying decide about wall decor!)


WARNING--disregard the creepy man (my husband) holding up the dust ruffle panel--I don't have a bed tall enough to pin them to so that you can see them good!  I'm working on a solution for that for the future...


This is a three girl room in Martin (which I can't imagine--they were 2 girl "luxury suites" when I was there!)  One for each bed--so cute! 

Here is one of the dust ruffle panels (and the creepy man)--each bed has three panels (assuming that the head of the bed and one of the long sides is against the wall)-one panel for the foot, and two panels for the long side--open in middle to access your stuff!  They attach to the bed with industrial strength velcro--pretty sure I would stick to the bed if I attached it to myself!  The skirts really do stay up all year despite opening them a million times a day!  So much easier than an extension rod...

These were a gift for someone--at first I thought they were for the girls and I was worried (never want to tell everyone what you want/think you're gonna get :), but I was reassured they were gifts!  I love the owl fabric on the ruffle--perfect for Chi O! 
This has nothing to do with the dorm room, but they ordered it for a baby shower gift and I thought it was so cute!!  I LOVE the baby blue houndstooth on the back.  The little boy's room is khaki and baby blue, so it should match perfect! (If the Owen's momma is reading this, I'd love to see a pic of it in the room!)


Thanks Gail for the order!  Make sure to send pics of the finished product so everyone can see!!

More College Pillows

So, it's almost the end of May, and I'm just now posting these--guess it's good I've been so busy!  I've had so many custom orders, and I'm even looking into wholesale--exciting!  I am also gonna get blog makeover in July--it will be much easier to navigate and get details on ordering.  These standard blogger templates don't make it very easy!


These are a few I've added lately--I also have some new Ole Miss designs that I somehow keep forgetting to take pictures of--they are really cute!


Mississippi State
3 different Tennessee designs




Vanderbilt--I also have a block print one, but it got destroyed by my 2 year old monster...imagine that


Memphis





Remember, I can do any school--I've even had some high school requests!!


I've also added some fun new letters, but I'll be back later with those!  

Let's raise some money!



So, I just saw where 3 Tuscaloosa elementary schools were COMPLETELY destroyed in the tornadoes, and I knew that I wanted to do something to help. I just can't imagine John Wilson's school being destroyed like that--he loves going so much, and he has grown and learned more than I ever thought he would over this year. I wanted to do something to help with putting these schools back together for their students, who have been through so much with the storms and need to be able to return to their schools in the fall and be with all of their friends!

I've been making college pillows lately (which I'll post them in a few days), and I thought some Alabama and Auburn ones would be perfect to use as a fundraiser!! I think they turned out so good!!!









I also added a limited time black and white houndstooth fabric covered letter--





All profits from from these Alabama & Auburn items & 30% of ALL profits in the Etsy store will go to "Help Tuscaloosa Schools" for the next 2 weeks (ending May 20), and you can keep up with how much money we've have raised on the sidebar of the blog.  

They are all listed here in the Etsy store.  


Now everybody help spread the word on Facebook & your blogs to we can raise a lot!  Thanks so much!!

May Special!!

I don't know about y'all, but we have 5 graduation presents to buy this year!  That probably doesn't sound like many, but considering I'm pretty sure we have never had to get anybody one the whole 6 years we've been married, it's a lot to us!  You forget about graduations once you don't deal with them anymore :)


To celebrate, the May special is $5 off all college pillows!  I have several listed in the Etsy shop...







They can be done for any school, in any colors and font, corded, fabric for the back, ruffled, whatever! 


I can also do any school, just email me to set up an order.


I will be adding several new ones to the Etsy shop this week, including a few new Ole Miss ones, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Memphis, & Vandy.  I even have a few with "Dixie" lyrics for all you Ole Miss fans...they have been hot sellers at the booth in Oxford!


Happy Monday!
