Hmm... Polka Dots

I had decided awhile ago that for the last decorative pillow for the sofa, I wanted to try a Cathedral Window that I found on this tutorial from Hyena In Petticoats. This is a GREAT tutorial because it is put down step-by-step and because I'm a visual person, the pictures help A LOT!




I was going at a pretty good pace, but then got distracted by some other fabric that was sitting out. I really shouldn't leave fabric laying around becasue I'm bound to drop everything and start a new project.

At least I finished this one.

I picked up this fabic a few days ago and had NO idea what I was going to do with it. I didn't get a lot because it was just a remnant, but it turned into a 30 x 30 blanket. Small, but I imagine a cute little baby laying down on it.

I'll get back to my Catheral Window Pillow soon. Updates later.

Martha Martha

In my search to fix or buy new pillows for the sofa in our living room, I stumbled across a Martha Stewart tutorial for a "Textured Pillow" here.

I'm not going to start with a pillowcase, which might end up being more difficult, but I want to be able to make choices on the sizing of my pillows and also give myself a little practice opportunity.

I went with a solid 100% cotton and will hopefully be able to get this project done in the next couple days.


Love and I have a date night tomorrow because he works on V-Day. We're going to the symphony and out to a nice restaurant for dinner. I'm not sure I could have really convinced Love that this symphony was all that great except for the fact that we have a friend that is playing in it and it is a way to support our friend.

So, if I don't get the pillows done, that is where I'll be!

Have a happy holiday!
