DIY Grainsack Pillows
For those of you who don't know what a grain sack pillow is, or aren't familiar with them, allow me to introduce you :) This ... is a grain sack pillow: They're usually made with vintage burlap sacks used by european farmers that have either red or blue died yarn going down the middle of it. PotteryBarn has some great ones, but at $89 a piece, I don't think so. You can find some great ones on Etsy, Depending on how true to real european grain sack they are using, will depict the price. So trying to be thrifty, which aren't we all ? :), I came across some really nice soft linen fabric at JoAnn's and decided to give it a try myself. Unfortunately I bought ...

DIY Pallet American Flag
Yesterday I did a short post for memorial day,with a few pictures of ourDIY Pallet American Flag.Today I'll give you a little behind the scenes lookon how it all came together.This was a pretty easy project,once the pallet was taken apart.I let Jesse take care of that part, because once a hammer wouldn't cut it,and the crow bar had to come out, I knew there was little more elbow grease involved than I could give.It was not as easy as it sounded,BUT,it did come apart, after a little sweat and muscles :)Once apart, I lined the pieces of wood upto start painting.I chose to paint them before assembling so the I could paint the sides of the boards as well.I decided to start with ...
