Amy Butler Lotus Pillow
My mom surprised me with this cute little bolster pillow she made. It is the perfect size, and I’m always amazed how well the grey looks on our chocolate-brown couch. She used Amy Butler’s Lotus Wall Flower fabric, and she created her own pattern with piping, but you can use one similar to this. LOVE when my mom makes pillows…
It’s Been a Fun Week
Besides some unpleasant news about layoffs and otherwise at my work, I have had a pretty fun week. Let me do a brief recap for you:
1. I made a self-proclaimed BEAUTIFUL pillow, and learned some new skills while I was at it. The elusive button-hole (my husband giggles everytime I say that…) and piping (with the help of my mom). I also discovered a fun line of organic cotton fabrics from Mod Green Pod. I used Butteryfly Jubilee.
2. I received an email from my kindergarden-aged nephew Jake. This is what the email said:
“Here are some pictures of me.”
3. On Tuesday, we had “brinner (breakfast for dinner)” with some friends.
4. I won a giveaway from Design Editor blog… cute all-occassion notecards from Push the Envelope. Now you can all race to do something nice for me so I can write you a thank-you note.
5. It’s Friday!
