When in doubt, get new toss pillows! And change the format of your blog.

11/17/10

I am sooo behind on my crafting posts. Projects beget projects around here. Just when I'm starting to make a dent in my sewing pile, I think of more and more things I could make.

I have been bored with my toss pillows, even though I made/recovered a bunch of new ones in May. There was this ugly old thing:

 

I found a snazzy little remnant of  green gloriousness at Jo-Ann's when I went a few weeks ago. I had just enough to recover this pillow.

 

Isn't it fabulous?!? :D

And this was new-ish (slip cover from Target), but I'm moving away from red decor in the living room and needed something different.

I had some pale celery green polka dot fabric and also a zipper that I'd bought for something else but was the wrong size. I figured I might as well try it out on a slipcover.

 

 

I got these Better Homes and Gardens pillows on clearance at Walmart a few months ago. Add them all to the puckered green pillow I made in the spring...

Still not perfect (new couches would be perfect).... and not exactly fall colors....

....but everything looks a little brighter now. :)

I'm behind on this, too:

Mess of the Day

I thought he was all cute getting himself a snack of chow mein noodles from the pantry. I should have known.

Well, at least it kept him out of my hair for 15 minutes!

Quote of the Day

by Madelyn

Me (from the front seat of the car): Something smells like ketchup. Madelyn, (who had just dragged Mark to Panda Express and actually probably smelled like soy sauce) you smell like ketchup!

Madelyn: I don't smell like ketchup, I smell fresh, like butterflies!!

Now I've got to get back to my sewing. I'm glad that Thanksgiving is next week because now I have a deadline for when I need to be finished. My kids and my laundry pile will be so happy.
