Little Bird Pillow in Inside Out Magazine!

I want to thank Inside Out magazine for featuring my Little Bird pillow in their March/April 2011 issue along with several other fantastic pillows! I just love everything about this photo!

Geometric Modern Pillow Cover

I found this great modern geometric fabric! I think it's a great color combination. I made a pillow cover out of it and it's now available at my Etsy shop! A great way to add some color and style to a chair, sofa or bed!

 

FindersKeepers Designs at California Center for the Arts, Escondido!

A few of my pillows will be for sale in the museum shop at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido during their newest exhibit starting February 11, 2011 - April. For more information about the upcoming exhibit check the museums website here

Here are a few of the pillows that will be available for purchase:

 

 

Eco friendly decorative pillow

Just finished this deer pillow last night! It's made completely out of eco-felt which is made from 100% post consumer recycled plastic bottles. This little pillow prevented a few plastic bottles from going into the landfill! It's soft too!

Office Sneak Peek Photos!

I have finally gotten around to painting the office/2nd bedroom! Here are a couple of sneak peek photos. There is still a lot of decorating left to do in the room so once I'm finished I'll be posting more photos. I need to figure out how to hide all the ugly electrical cords, anyone have any good ideas?

I mixed the green color myself. I took this photo when the lighting wasn't great, it's actually a bit lighter than it appears in these photos. The next set of photos I take I will make sure it's nice and bright in the room so the color shows better.

The Pratt desk is from West Elm, when I saw this design I knew this was the desk for me! I love it's mid-century modern design and the white metal drawer is a great contrast with the dark walnut wood. I already had the white eiffel chair so it was a perfect match!

The crow pillow in this photo is one of my designs and can be purchased in my shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/amyburkhart

More FindersKeepers Designs!

I've been busy creating more pillows! They can be purchased at my store http://www.etsy.com/shop/amyburkhart

Busy, busy, busy

We are making good progress on the house again! I'm hoping to get some new photos posted up by the end of this weekend. We have pretty much completed all the exterior painting, just a couple doors left to paint and we have started working on painting all our new molding which really takes a long time. In the meantime here is my latest pillow creation which can be purchased at my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/listing/56919911/yellow-and-grey-petal-pillow-cover-14-x

Each petal is hand cut by me out of felted wool and machine stitched onto 100% cotton grey fabric.

Deer Teal Polka Dot Pillow

Between working on the house, making items for my Etsy shop and working my full time job I just haven't had the time to blog or take photos. Hats off to those of you who manage to do it all, it's not easy! Here is my latest pillow cover creation. I love the applique deer head although let me tell you, those antlers were easy to cut out of felt! You can purchase this lovely little pillow at FindersKeepers

Vintage Car Collage Pillow

I love to make collage art so I decided, why not a collage pillow? I found this great vintage car fabric which I paired with a teal polka dot fabric and added a applique number three. I really like to use numbers and letters in my art, it must be the graphic designer in me! This pillow can be purchased at my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/amyburkhart

Retro Beads Pillow

So I FINALLY took time out to make a pillow out of the fabric I designed. I really like the way it came out! I'm hoping to make a table runner and a few other creations out it as well. The fabric is 100% organic cotton and it's super soft! I have so many other fabric design ideas, there just isn't enough time in the day. You can purchase these pillow covers in my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/amyburkhart
