The past couple of days I have been making pillows for my future apartment. A few days after arriving, Joel took me to the fabulous fabric store to get material for them. Emma has been a huge help! She even drew the bird on the one pillow for me to embroider. Thanks, Emma! I've been knitting the cable pillow for awhile now, and am SO happy how it turned out. Some vintage buttons from an antique store in the area completed it nicely. Emma let me borrow a pillow form so I could see what it looked like completed. I wish I could stuff and finish the rest of them, but could never fit them on the plane home with me that way. :)
This one needs some solid border and some brown cording before it is finished
I think this one is my favorite

Sebastian had fun crawling through the hoop after I finished embroidering

LOL! The one of Sebastian in the embroidery hoop made me laugh out loud! Too cute!
Gorgeous pillows! They definitely look like you. Er, look like your style. You look nothing like a pillow.
Ohhhh, Sebastian is adorable!!!
And your pillows are amazing!
The orange one is so cool!!!
You are extremely creative!!!!
I'm laughing at the one of Sebastian with his bum through the hoop as well. I'm not sure I approve of you posting such photos of my son.
Lovely pillows... I'm leaning up against one of them as I type this comment. Can I have it?
Well, I've said it a million times, I'll say it again... they're just wonderful creations, hon'! Can't wait to walk into the lucky home where these will be! Cute pictures of you, too... thank you to whoever took them (Sebastian?) :)
Those pillows are so cute!
This is so funny!
Today we were talking about a friend of ours who made this really cool craft, and my Mom said, "Some people are so creative." And Judah piped up and said, "Yeah, especially Martha."
It was so cute :)
I love it when this girl gives us an image heavy post - go martha! :)
I haven't read your blog for a while. Very nice pillows! So is the color theme going to be orange and black?
