Hello Makely readers! I am Jackie.  I am so honored to contribute to the Makely community in 2014. Like Lindsay I have a passion for taking ho-hum home decor and making it awesome!

Making pillows is one of my favorite ways to personalize my home decor and save money while doing it.  I want to show you how easy it is to make a custom typography pillow with a favorite word or phrase.

Win a $150 Throw Pillow Giveaway from The Pillow Studio and Personal Room Styling from Me

I have a really warm, fuzzy place in my heart for throw pillows.  If I didn’t have kids and pets (and a husband), I’d have about fourteen throw pillows on each of my sofas.  The five I have now just end up on the floor anytime the kids/pets/husband walk into the room – an amazing feat since none of them own up to being the pillow tosser.  I think they are in cahoots, or else I have magic pillows.

Living in a home full of pillow tossers, you’d think that I would quit buying pillows, right?  Wrong!  I will gladly pick them off the floor three times a day when I know what big changes they can bring to a room.  A different color here, a different pattern there, and a fresh take on a room you have.  Maybe pillows really are magic!

Today, I’m joining with designer and seamstress extraordinaire (and Makely reader!) Suzi from The Pillow Studio to bring you an amazing giveaway.  She’s giving away $150 worth of handmade pillow covers from her shop and I’m helping you pick the best ones to help transform the room of your choice!
