pillow swap 3 : modern simplicity :


The pillow swap that I have mentioned in the past is hosting sign-ups right now over on flickr. If you are interested in joining this fun group of sewists and getting a pillow in return, head on over and sign yourself up quick! And don't worry you will have lots of time to make your creation. I think they don't have to go out until the beginning of June. I have participated twice over the past year and have really enjoyed the group, the discussions and the pillwos I have received from other members. Will have to share those pictures here soon! This picture is the mosaic I made for my partner to see my style so they can get to "know" me a bit before they start. The top picture is the pillow I sent out for the last swap to my partner.
Are you in?

I have been very absent lately and I guess that is just the sign of a full life right now! We are busy with soccer, being outdoors and enjoying spring and did I mention soccer!! But it is all good and I hope you are too. My creative side is missing as well. I haven't used the sewing machine in many weeks. What is wrong with me? I have a list of things I want to make but no desire. I even have new fabric to use. I hate when the creative bug eludes me but hopefully it will come back. Not everyone around my home has lost their creativity. This is the latest house my hubby has built and we recently sold. It is a great mix of cottage and modern I would say and a really nice couple has moved here and now calls it home. He loves what he does and although I am very biased, I think he is really good at it too!




Hope to have some of my own creations to share soon, I really do!
