UGH...and DIY Scarf Pillows

I did (or should I say, didn't?) it again.

It's been over a month and I didn't post anything!

I've no excuses, really. But, I can tell you that I am at the moment preoccupied with a relocation to Massachusetts.  The boyfriend got a job transfer near there, and we selected an apartment in Salem.  I am super excited about it! It is a gorgeous place to live - quite touristy - but that's a good sign, I think.

Our new place is minutes from the marina, beach, and there is tons of parks and trails.  Also an amenity is the local dog park. Seems like we will have no troubles feeling at home there!

Lots of packing, Goodwill runs, and E-Baying going on right now.  All that to say, A Dash of Effort has been neglected :(  

These changes have brought on opportunities to declutter and think about my vision of our future home.  I already am beginning preparations for container gardening, and this time, I am opting for a minimalist approach to decorating.  That being said, I will have lots of inspiration for new posts!

Today I spent lots of time on Apartment Therapy and came across this awesome DIY scarf pillows article.

This is dangerous because I find lots of scarves at thrift stores.  Whenever I find ones I like, I am able to stave off temptation because I don't really wear scarves. But, with this tutorial...the possibilities are endless!

Do you have any DIY tips for pillows?
