I've realized that I have stooped to a level of hideous proportions with my last post. The fact that I even took a picture of our poo smeared television is bad enough, but then I posted it on my blog. My mom is mortified and is wondering where she went wrong.
I do have to say that my reaction to Conner's "art-work" was quite subdued. Surprising for me. But the gag reflexes were in full force. Ick. And I did get sympathy from the hubs. You know it's good to rack up those points on you and your husband's imaginary score cards, ladies!
So in order for me to regain some of my dignity, I thought I'd share some pictures of some decorative throw pillows that I sewed for my downstair's couch.
All of these pillows cost me a total of $25 to make. Not bad when one pillow, from Target, costs $25!
So cute, I can't even decide which one I like the best.
ReplyDeleteLove them. And pillows are an easy way to brighten a room. If you want a project, come help with my family room. My walls are getting there, but the fluff stuff is lacking greatly.
ReplyDeleteAnd the poo incident just makes you real. Very real. And as a fellow gagger, my reflexes rejoiced with yours.
A skirt that matches a pillow...you would be an amazing gal if you did that. Just go ahead and do it. I love that fabric.
Jen, I think you're amazing on all levels. That Conner is a whirl wind! I can't believe the things he does to you! It's like he's saying "yeah, I'm the last one you want RIGHT MOM!!! RIGHT?!?!?!" You're pillows are gorgeous and I only hope to ONE DAY be able to craft as you craft. You kick craft a__! (shh don't tell anyone I alluded to a swear word)
ReplyDeleteI'll take all three please, Vanna!
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
You know how talented I think you are. If I was rich I'd put you to good use and keep you for myself and never share. And my house would be beautiful, immaculate and well-decorated.
In the meantime, however, I have two buttons I need sewing on. Yes. I'm pathetic. I get it. I even tried to find a needle and thread and couldn't. Lame.
Oh my heck! I love them!!!! You are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute!!! I need to do something like that for my couches, too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of your pillows! The flower one is my favorite one too. You are the kid of seamstress that I want to be. Your attention to detail is awesomely great. If you want another project you can come over and help me make my living room pretty - it's naked! (Not little boy naked though;)
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud about the poo. I love your blog because it's real. Really funny too!
I say that you go ahead and make that skirt - just don't carry the pillow around with you when you wear it - haha.
Love them! I only wish that one day I could be as talented as you :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your pillows, Jen! I would love some of your craftiness pillows sitting on my new couch set in the "Home Teachers" room.
ReplyDeleteIn case you feel the urge to make more.....just sayin' ;)
