I love the cooler weather - it makes me want to stay inside and "work"....this is what I've been working on lately - felted wool pillows. I was able to make several this past week - then surprised family and friends with them....I saved one for myself and this is it, but as you can tell, it's just the front, I've yet to find the time to finish it...maybe tomorrow, after Thanksgiving dinner when I'm too stuffed to move I'll be able to stuff the pillow?!
Actually this little project is for a new book. I'm in the "final stages" of a felted wool pillow book....I just love the look and feel of felted wool and making pillows with wool comes together fast and easy....and it's very forgiving!
The mister just walked in....he asked what I was doing and I told him.....I showed him the pillow top....he said, "If you want another pillow why don't you just go buy one?" Yes folks, it's true....he also says this about my quilts - only he refers to them as blankets....as in, "If you want another blanket, why don't you just go buy one instead of spending all of your time sewing?" And you thought cavemen were only on TV! Or extinct! After years and years and years of marriage... (and I said it would never last!)... he still doesn't get it....unfortunately, our son has inherited this defect....along with his eating issues....yesterday my son asked me to please buy Cool Whip for his pie....I told him we would NOT be having any fake stuff and that I would get REAL whipped cream...to which he replied, "Oh good, I like the stuff in the CAN much better!" Why do I try??? I'll tell you why - it beats banging my head against the wall - although the results are the same! Which is why a woman invented Advil....I'm sure it was a woman....pretty positive actually...because why would a MAN need a pain killer?!???
