I ended up having to cover them up with painted on "sunglasses."

I have some of my mother's genes, and she is a really crefty person. So I have looked around for some inexpensive ring bear pillows, since I am having 4 Ring Bears. I decided since I could not find ring bear pillows that 1 I liked and 2 all custom made ones are out of my price range, that I was going to make 4 Ring bear pillows. I have a sewing machine so how hard could this be? Well I made a pattern of 12 inch square out of posterboard and then began cutting out my squares. My squres did not totally come out prefectly, oh well I was sewing them right, so I could just even them out with the inseam. So I sewed them that I did a good job. I then began to stuff all 4 of the pillows. They were looking good then I got done, and they looked Horrible! They were lopsided and not perfectly squared! I was mortified! I had put in a lot of work on these darn pillows and all my Fi could do is laugh at them! I could not beleive they turned out so wrong! So those our my ring bear pillows for not atleast. I am going to try and talk my Mom in to making them. Since I do not have the money to order them customized to our colors! I usually am a so so crefty person.

I was living in an apartment with my college roommate. I wanted a wreath for my beat-up old van to get into the spirit. Not being able to afford one, I bent a coat hanger into the approximate shape and went out just past our carport where there were some pine trees. Half an hour later and covered with sap, I attached the boughs to the coat hanger with some lovely green twist ties and proclaimed myself done. My roommate took one look at it and said, "You're the ghetto Martha Stewart." Also, I need the help because we are on a very tight budget and I need to do all I can by myself! It was Christmastime.
