Almost Made It

Oh, I am dragging bootie this week.  Maybe the cold weather and snow are finally getting to me.  Who knows.  I did manage to finish everything from last week's post and am pleased with it, although one of the projects was not what I had envisioned.  The first picture is Bee Mine by Lizzie Kate.  I had originally planned on putting pink hearts in each corner of the pillow, but then opted for these buttons instead.  I found them in a jar of buttons handed down to me that use to belong to my grandmother.  I  still need some work on stuffing pillows because they never seem to look just right, but I am happy with the overall look of this pillow.


Below is my finish of I Fight Like a Girl by Sharon at It's Daffycat.  I had originally planned on this being finished as a flat fold, but I had technical difficulties and ended up having to go this route with my finishing.  I might end up restitching this one again at a later date and attempting the flat fold again - just depends. 



Thankfully this week is about over with.  I am not sure if next week will be much better, but I can always hope for the best.  I want to thank everyone for the kind words about my last post.  The comments are much appreciated.  Thanks for dropping by.  Until next time......

Love your finishes! I tried my hand at a flatfold and will not ever show how that turned out. lol

Have a great weekend!

Your pillow is adorable! I think you were right to use the buttons you did. Stuffing pillows is hard for me too - they never seem firm enough. I think yours looks fine. I like how you have attached the pink design to your purse. How are the glasses doing?

I love your pillow. The colour of the fabric is perfect. I'm trying to muster up the courage to attempt a pillow, hope it turns out as nice as yours!
