Despite the makeup, nails, and the occasional wearing of high heels, I’m a tomboy at heart. The decor around here leans industrial and masculine. I like dark wood floors, grey walls, and wrought iron. When it comes to decor pieces, I prefer a vintage typewriter over a furry white footrest. It’s safe to say that fluffy and frilly doesn’t exist around here. That is, it didn’t, until today.

I decided to use this pattern to craft a pillow. Rather than go with a traditional color scheme like black and white or Halloween-style in black and orange, I opted for pink and floral.

And … I love it!

I like this look so much that I ended up with a pillow and two door-hangers. And, now my mind is racing with tons of ideas on what I could create.

Make just one piece as an accent or use this as the inspiration for an entire room. Start from scratch, as shown here, or add to ready-made pillow covers, kitchen towels, window coverings, or aprons. Add to the back of a jacket, front of a t-shirt, or hand stitch to a hat. The options are endless.

Not to worry, I won’t be changing up the decor to pink skulls, but you might see little bits of fluff and frilly around here in the future.

This simple skull applique is crafted with our Skull Trio Party Pattern. Grab your free copy from the Haunted Library. And, don’t forget to visit the introduction post to see what else you can do with these skellie faces.
