Throw Pillows Made by Moi

In an attempt to spruce up my living room, I recently painted, taking the walls from a very bland off-white to a shade referred to as Secret Moss. This made a world of difference to my living room (in my opinion anyway), which isn't given justice by the following pictures!

So, in light of the new wall color and the fact that my puppy recently chewed up each of the old throw pillows on couch [which didn't match anyway], I decided we were in serious need of upgraded throw pillows! And I figured I could just do them myself!

Operation Crochet a Scarf

My mom spent most of the time leading up to Christmas crocheting like crazy. Most females in my family are donning handmade scarfs this winter. I absolutely love my soft, blue, black, and white infinity scarf, but I realized that I really do need a scarf comprised of warm colors. So, I endeavored to crochet my first scarf!

Mind you, I have crocheted before. I don't think I've every actually finished something 100%, but I've known the basics since I was a child. After a quick crash course with my mom, I set down and began to crochet away.
