Valentine Pillows
It was so fun to go through all of my projects from 2011.
I forgot about some of them — LOL! I discovered that I had published over 100 personal tutorials in 2011, not counting the many, many amazing guest tutorials for the year. I love going back and re-living those moments. Here are a few of my favorite tutorials from 2011 — I guess you could say that 2011 was the year of CHEVRON around here 🙂
And I am SO excited for 2012.
I have a big project up my sleeve. It will bring LOTS of DIY Decorating tutorials to the blog. I can’t wait to share more with you soon!!
But in the meantime, here are some of my favorite TT&J DIY tutorials from 2011:

PS — Be sure to check out this awesome series:
Yesterday, it started with the delightful Nester of Nesting Place!
And today it continues with one of my favorite blogging friends today — Sarah, then Wednesday with me, Thursday with Marian, and Friday with Kate . We will be talking about all different aspects of blogging — from building a community, photography, monetization, finding your voice and finding balance. Be sure to check it out!
I recently discovered you on Pinterest. I love the Clorox container turned grocery bag holder. Do you have a tutorial for that? I’d like to know if you used fabric or paper and what you used for adhesive.
I think my favorite project of yours last year was that cute chevron rug! So simple, but so beautiful! I bought a rug to stencil months ago and I still haven’t done it!
Great Round-up! I feel inspired (especially by the houndstooth nails!) I didn’t check all the links, just a few that caught my eye, but I did notice that the links for “Stenciled Damask Lamp Shade” and “Spring Sweater Refashion plus 6 other Spring Sweater Refashions” both point to the “Summer Reading Tent”.
Thanks for letting me know Ginny! My internet went down last night as I was writing the post and by the time it was back up it was super late. I must have copied those in by mistake. I fixed it 🙂 Happy 2012!!

Thanks for always being so inspiring & uplifting! I think I want to use the straw wreath idea & make it Valentinsie! BTW I am pretty sure I have convinced my hubs to buy me a ticket to SNAP, sure hope I can meet you in person instead of ‘pretending’ to know you! I am sure most of us that regularly read your blog feel like we know you! Big Hugs
Oh yay Andrea — it would be so fun to meet you at SNAP!! And let me know if you make a straw wreath for Valentine’s Day – I would love to see it and feature it!!
