I found this pillow project on a the blog a beautiful mess. I thought this would be a fun project for my upcoming sewing camps for kids to incorporate hand sewing as well as some machine sewing. Check out their blog, it is super cute, and they have a lot of great D.I.Y projects :)

Venus Tribute!

Today is Jennifer's, (my boss and owner of Venus on the half shell) birthday!!!
