Elliott Heath Designs

You Can Win This Pillow!
This owl pillow is perfect for Fall, Y'all!

 Each new season calls for a change in decorative pillows and that is why I'm excited to announce
a new sponsor on Mod Vintage Life...Elliott Heath Designs.

I've long admired these designs created by Heather.

Her Etsy Shop is full of special pillows for all the seasons and holidays and for every day.

This pumpkin pillow is on its way to me.
I was badly in need of a little fall color on my furniture.
This pumpkin pillow will do the trick.
but I almost chose this sweet Halloween design.

This one would work well for Fall but could go year round.

Vintage Halloween

 I love the mix of Halloween and French!
 I'd like to have this pillow too....perhaps soon...


 Almost ordered this one.
 New in the shop are these turkey pillows.
Darling! If a turkey can be darling...this one is.
 I was just thinking you never see a good turkey pillow and here they are!

 I really love this spider one....perfect to go with my Halloween stuff.


 The shop has several peacock styles
 I definitely need this one by next 4th of July.
I ordered this one too...I know...I know...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

It's upon us.
Hope your Trick or Treating is wonderful tonight.

I thought when I wrote today I would have that above pillow finished.
It's not.
I'm still embellishing.

Nothing like making Halloween crafts on Halloween. 

But then I've made Christmas decorations on Christmas Day before.
I was snowed in one Christmas and couldn't get to the house where I'd be celebrating.

I was depressed for a moment and then decided to make stuff!

So my life never goes as planned...even when it seems fool proof.

I had yesterday all to myself...all day....no interruptions so I could finish painting the 
living room and make this pillow.

Wrong.

My sister showed up in the am needing me to create business cards for her.
She has a craft show she is doing this weekend and wanted new cards.

Did that...had to go buy ink for the printer and help cut them and glue on 
gems to each one. Her concept. 

I wanted to scream that if she'd only planned ahead, I could have sent the art
off to be printed online and we'd have had none of the hassle.

Oh..well...as my Mom would say...
That is just your sister!

I think they never say this about me as they always want me to conform to their plans.

I seem to always need to change my plans and no one says....
"Oh..that is just your sister!"

So I didn't start painting till 3pm!

3pm!!!!

I ran out of paint at 8:30pm.

So....here I am another day without that finished.

I thought I was working today but nope...they didn't need me.
Can you imagine?

I have plans of course for tonight with it being Halloween and all..

So I decided to make a pillow. 

But that didn't happen till after noon because my friend came to pick up her dog.

Now I have to quit to get ready for tonight so 
the pillow didn't get finished.

I get so frustrated...I feel like I am behind on everything all the time.

Doesn't it seem like all other bloggers are so organized and on top of things 
and early, even?

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.

Most are on to Christmas decor and I'm still fussing with Halloween.

I'll be doing some Thanksgiving crafts....but of course I need to paint 
the dining room first.

See, always behind, always.

Sometimes blogging just makes me feel inadequate.
