Cable Knit Pillows for $11 and Crate & Barrel Christmas Mugs for .95 Cents!

Hello there! Boy, have I got some deals for you today! I've been wanting some cable knit pillows for my living room for awhile now. I think they're so pretty and cozy and work perfectly as fall and winter pillows. The problem was that I couldn't find any for less than about $40. Most of the ones I found were between $40-$80. Eighty dollars for ONE pillow??? Seriously??? Umm....no. Not gonna happen. 

Then this weekend I noticed that Joann's had some on sale at 50% off for $14.99! They also emailed me a coupon for 25% off my entire order, including sale items!!! That brought the price down to $11 and some change! Yes, please!!

Just look at how pretty they are!!

Even if you don't get their coupons emailed or texted to you, $14.99 is still a whopping good deal. 

Here's a far away shot of them on my loveseat...

And here we are a little closer...

Gosh, I just love them. They also came in red. I bought mine in my store, but you can also order them online. 

I think I have a thing for all things cable knit. Here's a pic of my favorite mug I put on IG. Yes, I actually went into the backyard, clipped some flowers, and had a little photo shoot with it. #overthetop Lol! 

Okay, now for some other shocking news...I'm going to attempt to make pillow covers...WITH A SEWING MACHINE!!! Y'all know I don't know a single thing about sewing and I've mentioned before how I can't even sew on a button. Some of you probably even remember how my hubby does my sewing for me. Sad, but true. Lol! He made the shade for our back door and even made the cornice board for the dining room window. 

Well, I came across a great tutorial online for "envelope pillow covers." Apparently they're made kind of like pillow shams. The fabric in the back kind of overlaps and you just stuff the pillow in. No complicated zippers or anything. I do have my mom's sewing machine right now, and my hubby said he'd try to teach me how to use it. Although...he was starting to explain how to use it and he said something about a "bobbin" and I said "what's a bobbin?" I really wish I could duplicate the horror stricken look on his face. Lol! I guess he has his work cut out for him. I have a feeling I might just "watch" him make them instead of actually making them myself. :)

Anyway, here's the fabric I chose. I wanted to add a little orange for Fall and Thanksgiving. 

You can see the regular sofa pillows in this pic. The other side of the pillow is just like the sofa fabric, and I'll have that side facing out, so I won't have to worry about those grey designs showing through my orange fabric.

And here's a little mock up of the fabric just wrapped around the pillow...(notice my little photo bomber)

I know I really should have added fall pillows back in September, but better late than never. :) I plan on keeping the cable knit pillows on the loveseat all winter long and using the orange ones on the sofa through Thanksgiving. Then when I decorate for Christmas, I'll switch out the orange ones for my solid red ones. I'm loving having a neutral color base for my decor because then I can just add pops of any color for a totally different look!


Okay, enough pillow talk. ;) Now on to my fantastic deal at Crate & Barrel!! Just look at how cute these mugs are!

Aren't they sweet? A friend on Instagram posted about them last night and I went straight to the Crate & Barrel website to order them. They're only .95 cents on their website right now. Shipping is $4.95. I ordered 4 of them for a total of $9.42 with tax and shipping. Now, I do have to tell you that it's a CHILD'S SIZE mug. It's only 3" in diameter and 3" tall and holds 8 ounces, just so you know. That was all fine with me because I mostly plan on using them for decorating purposes. :) I checked right before I posted this and they still had some left, but they're selling out quickly so I suggest you jump on it right now if you want them. :)

About an hour after I ordered them, I got an email saying they had already shipped, so they should be here soon. I love when standard shipping works like that. :)

Y'all have a good Wednesday!!
