I love funny, funky and striking table mats and tablecloths. By combining all sorts of textures, prints, techniques etc, will create a fabulous accent!

Sewing for the house is not only fun, but rewarding. I love sewing pillows, they are fast and easy. They can also change a room dramatically while being inexpensive.
