Cozying it up for Fall {Coffee Sack Pillows}

***Yes, it's been about 5 months since I last posted...no, I didn't fall off the face of the earth, yes, I still love to blog...but lately I've been doing more "living blogging" about life with my boys than crafty blogging. Since I last posted we moved across state, my husband finished residency and started working in a multi-specialty medical group (Yay, honey!) and we have settled into a new community. I am LOVING decorating our new home...and hopefully some day (maybe soon, maybe not) I'll share some photos of our new digs...but, in the meantime you'll get some scattered posts when I feel the urge to make something creative!***

With Fall (supposedly) approaching I have been wanting to cozy up our home a bit. Since we're fairly new to this house, and there are a lot of blank walls that I have no clue what to do with, I've been struggling with how to make our house more homey. Enter pillows, my go-to home decor element that seems to instantly adds a statement to any room. I've had these on my agenda to make for a while...I got the burlap coffee sacks off of Etsy a couple months ago...but I never found time (or made the time) to make them 'til today. And no, I certainly did not let my son watch a couple hours worth of his favorite Huckle shows while I made them so that he would stay out of my way, of course not! ;)

I got all my sewing stuff out during baby brother's naptime and got them pretty much made before he woke up. I am so happy with how they turned out and I love the warmth and texture they bring to our living room. Tell me what you think!
