Allll sorts'a cute

Morning!

How was everyones Memorial Day?  It was hot HOT hot here!  And the pool's not open yet, so that's not good.  :P

We went over to my sisters house and watched Emmy play in the sprinkler - and it was lovely.  :)  I also got about 20 minutes of sewing in in the morning!  YAY!

This guy ^^ paid me a visit while I was sewing!  Isn't he gorgeous?!  :D

And this little darling got a new hair bow!

 

Look at that face.  If you say "Say cheese, Emmy!", you get this precious mug.  :)

 

I used Funky Polkadot Giraffes' Bow Tie Hair Clip tutorial for this, but I just made it bigger... Like Minnie Mouse big.  :D  I didn't actually measure the pieces I cut, so I couldn't even tell you!  Next time I make big ones like this, I'll measure and share.  ;)

 

So cute!

 

:) 
Hope you all had a great long weekend!  I sure did!  NYC pictures to come... :D



Pompom Pillow

Friends, I really have mixed feelings about this pillow.

It looked so good before I put the pillow form into it.  The pompoms looked more like banners or buntings - which was the goal!  They were nice and swoopy.  But once I put the form in, the curves sort of straightened out.

Craft Fail?!

Switched to a zipper foot after that hot mess stitching on the dark purple row!  YEEesh.

Meh.

But I do love that I have a new friend for Foxy Pillow!  I think they'll look fab together... After I fix this one.  :)

Envelope style, ala From An Igloo.

Good idea, poor execution methinks.Either the poms need to be totally straight, just like plain ol' stripes, or way waaay more swoopy.  This in-between business ain't cute.  :P

Hey, happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!  Hope you all have good ones!  I'm off to NYC tomorrow morning!  Woohooo!  I'll take tons of pictures, especially in the Garment District!

Love to all, 

*ETA*  Thank you all SO MUCH for your kind words about this pillow!  I think I was looking at it with a judgmental craft-stank eye.It's pretty cute, I guess. ;)
