Heya. Yes, I still do some crafts! I was thinking about a package I needed to send this month as part of a secret sister program I participate in. I couldn't really think of a good idea until I remembered that it was July and that Christmas was my secret sister's favorite holiday. Christmas in July! So I got to work compiling all the stuff I have made over the years-ornaments and such-to see what I could already put in the package. I found a few ornaments and homemade things but it wasn't enough. So I decided to make a Christmas decorative pillow. I had a pillow form lying around that I didn't need so I got to work. I found the perfect fabrics and started cutting. Here is the end product.
I did mess up the front because I thought it was a 10 inch pillow but it turns out it was a 12 inch pillow. So I had to add the red border around it (luckily I had enough fabric). It didn't turn out exactly as I wanted it but for taking an hour on a Wednesday evening I thought it was a pretty good effort. Merry Christmas in July!
That is happy. Christmas in July. :)
ReplyDeleteTonight my daughter asked that we eat the super special treat (because they were just rock stars at church today with their behavior) with the Christmas lights on. I plugged in a string, and we ate brownies with twinkling white lights nearby.
