pillows

yes, i made more pillows. these are fresh and cheery, two little harbingers of spring. i got the square pillow forms at ikea for $10 each, which is a super deal considering that they're big and goose down. i got the fabric at the shop that was going out of business, and i found a free pattern online on how to make slip-covered pillows, which i hadn't made before. i included a small piping around the edge, which i also hadn't done before.

the winter sun is trying to be cheerful, poor little guy. everything looks a bit dreary, but all the rain we've been getting is a huge answer to prayer. i can't take credit for the round pillow. that's above my skill level yet.
