The past few days have been busy around the farm, with us picking out a paint colour for the powder room, and by us I mean P. It's called "On the Rocks"; I love the name, but it makes me thirsty.
So, while P is cutting in the paint in the corners, I am busy rearranging the newly-covered pillows for the livingroom. I googled an "easy-to-sew" pattern for pillow covers, and whipped up one in red and one in an interesting mix of gold and red and sage green that I found on sale last week. Now, if you know me, you know that I am hopeless, really, truly hopeless, with a sewing machine, and even the "easy-to-sew" patterns turn into complicated messes with heaps of hanging threads all gooped together in dripping knots. So, undertaking this project was quite adventurous for me. And I did it! The pattern in a fold-over style not unlike Ikea pillow cases. Easy.
And while P is rolling on the first coat, I'm sitting back enjoying my finished masterpieces. Hmmm. Perhaps I'll try quilting next.
There is nothing you can't do!!!!Amazing work of art are those pillows. Keep that machine oiled - who knows what may be next. I so proud of you...bathrood is nice too P.
