A Funky Christmas Pillow : :

Just after finishing up my orders, I decided to make yet another Holiday Garland Pillow -- this one's for us! The kids love this pillow, they really do, so I was happy to make one of their very own. I am sure it gets annoying to watch 99% of what I make head out the door this time of year and I think they handle it so well!



I put together a very simple tutorial right here, if you're interested in making your own. I think this new scrappy one is my 6th and will be my last! I have so many ideas that I am afraid I won't be getting to this year. There is just never enough time!! Is there?



Lately, Lily isn't ever too far away from me. She's such a sweet girl! When my son had the 24 hr flu the other day, she laid with him all day long. She even followed him into the bathroom each time! She either has an amazing sense to want to comfort or each day she decides which one of us will be sitting most the day and makes her decision. Ha!



I tired to get photos of her batting at my needle. It was the first time she ever did this! It made me so nervous, my gosh! In this photo she just looks completely upset that I woke her.



I made this pillow of all my ribbon, ric rac, and felt scraps lying around. I think it looks festive and fun!



I finished the back off with some of my cute Riley Blake fabric with mittens, hot chocolate & snowflakes. I love this fabric!



It's a little funky, but we like it!
