I made this little pillow out of felted wool....It's for a Valentine swap - I sure hope the stranger I'm sending this to likes it....I made one for myself as well because I like to walk into a room and catch a glimpse of something that has a little message on it...just a little reminder of good things. This measures 7" x 18" and is hand-stitched with the blanket stitch and hand embroidered with the back stitch. I like little pillows in chairs - they're not big enough to interfere with sitting and they're small enough to provide a little extra cushion for my back.
Valentine's Day is truly a Hallmark holiday but....what else do we have to celebrate in February? The deep freeze?!? I look forward to Valentine's Day....to my annual plastic rose with the fake water droplets that the mister purchases for me....these are only sold at the finest of gas stations! One day soon I'll have enough to open my very own plastic rose museum! He tries...bless his heart...I suppose it's better to get plastic roses with the fake water droplets than to have a husband who drives into cemetaries looking for fresh flowers to take home to his wife....the mister would NEVER do that...that takes too much time!
