Here's a fun fact about me. I'm really good about saying yes to blog things and then flaking. (Okay, let's be honest. I'm just a flake.)

Karah from The Space Between (who is letting me move in with her down in Key West) and Jessica from Decor Adventures asked if I would be interested in joining them for a blog hop that involved finding something around your house and turning it into a holiday item. I was all like "OF COURSE! PICK ME!" And then I forgot about it until like 2 days ago.

Luckily my craft room is currently auditioning for an episode of hoarders. I dug around until I found the holy grail. A pair of women's shorts 10 sizes too large for me that I picked up at a thrift store in October. Why does one buy a pair of shorts 10 sizes too large? Too make room for holiday food. Duh.

Or to make a pillow for your living room. Because your dog is sad that his new chair isn't comfy enough because it is missing said pillow.

I found these shorts at a local thrift store. I initially hoped it was a skirt in my size because FLANNEL! But they turned out to be shorts not in my size. Sad trombone. That always happens to me. I grab the perfect piece off the rack only to find it 10 sizes too small or big. It's cool. I bought these shorts anyways.

I kept pondering what I could do with them and then I decided on a pillow.

I chopped the shorts apart until I had material to make two pillows. I just sewed along the edges and shoved some pillow fluff in them (maybe could have used a little more. eh.) The pillows are small but Ike doesn't seem to mind.
