I recently finished making this pillow for a friend. She is about to have a baby girl and they have decided on the name Olive. Oh how I love that name! But...with our last name that will never work. Olive Gardner. Yum, I love that restaurant.
Anyways. Its suppose to be read {olive} you = i love you.
I am actually pretty proud of this pillow and contemplated keeping it.
The olive is made of felt which I just cut out free hand, and then hand stitched onto the fabric.
To paint the "YOU" on I found a font I liked on the computer, printed it out the size I wanted it to be and then traced it onto wax paper. I then used a blade to cut out the letters from the wax paper so that I had my very own personal stencil. Then I just painted the words on. In total the present cost me nothing {but time of course} because I already had all the supplies! Sweet!
Another project I finished last week was revamping this cardigan. Call me old, but I love lace. This too cost me nothing because I got the lace from Jordan's grandma. All I did on this one is sew the lace in place.

Whitney, I just ran across your blog. You look so good and have just the cutest little guy.
Thanks Nicole! Your little girl is pretty adorable too!
great job! I, too, love the name Olive but I loved too many O names. Owen and Olive would've been a little excessive haha
