So here are the pillows I mentioned--The ones that started Luke begging for more. Actually, I only made two of them. The one with the ruffles was made by Shannon and I'm never giving it back. Wa ha ha. Seriously though, The ruffled pillow makes the set and I owe it to Zig-zag Pillow and Sunbeam Pillow to keep the family together.
Did I mention that I have five shades of gray and black in this line. Five delicious shades. When we were narrowing down the strike-offs (strike-offs are like a rough draft) I wanted all the grays, I sheepishly asked for all the grays, and Kathy gave me all the grays. Yes! I just think pairing gray with bright colors makes the bright colors look so luscious. See all the colors here.
And yes, I was moving my couch all over the house to take pictures. Lily came home from school and asked me to keep the couch in the dining room for a while longer because the light is better for reading in there. Hmmm I may need to do something about that.
PS The pillow with the the charming bicycle applique is also from Shannon. I've notice the other pillows becoming more and more attached to it. Just sayin', Shannon.
PPS I made those pillow appliques for the boys (a few posts back) downloadable. Check out my sidebar.
PPPS We survived the shots. Grant was cracking me up at the appointment. We had been talking about doctors before hand so when the nurse came in Grant kept whispering "doctor. doctor" over and over. That boy parrots everything. Then when the Dr finished examining Luke, Grant blurted out, "My Turn." Ya, it was all fun and games til' I had to hold them down while the nurse "shot" them. Ah, well. It was a good excuse for ice cream.
Love the painter's canvases! I bought all the original ones-guess I'll have to get me some more!

Love the bicycle appliquéd pillow. I think the answer should be "yes" - just sayin'.

Shannon meant it when she said no. She actually took the pillows home today. Some people have no heart.

Love the pillows. Gray is a great color and looks divine with the others. Well done, kiddo. I agree with Luke about the shots. He has my sympathy. Ice cream always made me feel better too.
Love ya lots,
