Yesterday was a day of reuse in our house. 
Once again using our piles of packing paper making these paper mache bowls: 
To make your own glue go here. The kids loved getting messy with the homemade glue, so glad we did it outside. Everyone took baths before their supposed naps. I’ll show you them when complete, we are using it to fill with daddy’s Easter gift.
I am also working on some pillows this week for our front room. We are repurposing this quilt since the edges are fraying and its not keeping my sweet girl warm. I got this idea from Soule Mama’s book Handmade Home. 
We first started with Camille’s room though, making a heart pillow she adores. 
The fabric scraps on the pillow are a reused pair of bloomers, an old curtain & some fabric I had bought in the scrap bin a month ago or so. Cami had so much fun stuffing the pillow. It was so sweet last night when she went to sleep. She grabbed her pillow and put it right under her head saying “I love my heart pillow.”

I really want to do paper mache with The Offspring. But it will have to wait for summer. We can put on our suits, go out and get all gluey, and then wash off with the hose.
Love that pillow. So many good ideas are in the pages of that book. Where to begin?
