Winter Blues

 I just realized that I haven't posted anything since Christmas Eve!

After the Christmas hustle & bustle I usually have to

unwind and relax for a little bit.

 

I haven't been in the creative mood lately.

My card making is behind along with a few other projects.

Winter tends to give me the blues.

All I want to do is hunker down under the covers and sleep away the winter.

Kind of like hibernating!

 

So I thought that I would share my Winter snowflake pillow

covers that I made during the Christmas rush.

 

These are made out of felt that I purchased at Joann Fabric.

 

I cut my snowflakes using my Silhouette cameo machine and

hand stitched each snowflake onto the pillow covers.

That was a LOT of hand stitching!  I must be insane!

No wonder I want to take a 3 month nap!

 

 

 

 

 

Here they are all lined up on the couch.

 

 

I wanted to make another pillow to go with these but all of the supplies that

I needed are on back order.  Oh well, there's always next year!

 

This is another fun little pillow cover I made for the winter season

out of some scrap fabric I had laying around.

I got this pattern out of my American Patchwork Quilting magazine.

As soon as I saw this pillow cover I knew that I was going to make it.

I cut out each piece by hand...

 

 

and again hand stitched each piece onto the pillow cover!

 

 

Isn't it just the cutest!

It's such a happy pillow that it kind of chases the winter blues away!

 

Looking at these pillows made me hungry for something warm to eat.

So for dinner I made a BIG pot of chili.

Add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of cheddar cheese on top

and dig in!  YUM, YUM

 

 

That's all I have for now.

Stay warm and I'll see you next time.
