Spring Mantel Decor



I was looking around the house, for some creative inspiration for the fireplace mantel.   Finally taking a moment to sit and stare at the mantle, hoping that would help,  I realized  the pillow I was sitting on, was my  inspiration for the mantel..   So, who would have thought....finding inspiration can be found anywhere........
even under your own tush!

A LITTLE PIECE OF FABRIC

A Little Piece Of Fabric

While visiting daughters in New Orleans, I did the usual, and hit up a few thrift stores.  Accompanied by daughters, they tried to talk me out of purchasing the piece of cheap  fabric.  Paying them no mind, I listened to my little voice....saying buy me, buy me.   So, as usual, I  listened to that little voice, and purchased the little piece of fabric.  I didn't know what would become of it...but today I stopped at my favorite drive thru coffee shop, and had a mocha latte and became so wired, that  I came home trying to redecorate my whole house.  This is whats become of the little piece of fabric, purchased for a mere ninety-nine cents!

 
little piece of leopard fabric

   
let  the tucking begin.............


 

 
tuck....tuck.....and more tucking

  
no staples,  no glue guns or tacks....all hand tucked.  
10 minutes of tucking
