covered in threads/pillows upon pillows!

i was pretty bummed when vday passed and i was out of luck for cute spring material to make pillow covers to replace my vday ones... *sigh* but desperate to sew SOMETHING, I remembered a blog post I had seen a bit back about a tutorial on pillow covers. the blogger had made a pillow that in cooperated her home state and her boyfriends home country, she had actually been inspired by another crafter ( don't you just ♥ inspiration!? ) ... i thought it was so sweet, and with tom and i being from two different parts of the country, i thought it would be cute to do something similar! i have had the material for a LONG time now... since I read the post and ( i think this is considered a 'run-on' sentence? ) i finally sat down and made them! i ♥ them so much! they will eventually go on our bed when i finish with the other pillows i plan on making for our bed

ok let me take a break ( cramp! ).....

( new sentence ) while i was on a roll and my living room and myself were covered in threads, i decided to go ahead and make winston the pet bed i have been meaning to make since before we got him! i wanted to go to the fabric store and pick out some cute fabric and something that was good on wear and tear for the bottom but we never manged to get over that way. i found this material that i have had for awhile and it just screamed 'WINSTON' ( don't you think?) it turned out so cute and he is passed out asleep on it right now... it was so funny b/c it was like he KNEW it was his lol! it is a little bigger than i initially meant to make, but he will get about 25lbs so he will grow into it.
