The first batch of woolly house pillows is done, and...here they are: ta-da-a-a-a!...
While you can't really tell from the photos, the pillows are a good size (20" square), and I went nuts with the buttons: there are 7 of them, each one different from the other -- how fun is that! I backed them with what is quickly becoming a favorite: Barefoot Roses' polka dot print in that wonderful grayish tone that I simply can't get enough of!
In case you're wondering, all the houses in the photos are from my neighborhood -- isn't that shade of pink absolutely scrumptious...
Wow, what a gorgeous neighborhood you live in! I love the fence that matches the house.
(The pillows are gorgeous too!)

I love those pillows so much. They are just beautiful. What a great neighbourhood to live in too. I used to live in a pink house and I loved it. The current owner has just painted it cream and I am so sad...it has taken away its character.
Your blog is one of my favourites - it is so bright and cheerful.

Your new pillows are great! I love how you have matched them up with the colours of the houses in your neighbourhood, and how lucky you are to live in such a colourful place. all the houses round here are stone coloured or cream - boring!!

Hi,
I just discovered your blog today. What a pleasant surprise to find another crafty blogger in Vancouver! Your work and your blog are very professional and inspiring! I especially love your twirly ruffled skirts for girls. The fabric combinations you've used are beautiful. I'm curious about what neighbourhood you live in. Your house is so picturesque I'm guessing Strathcona?

I absolutely adore your pillows. They remind me of the felt house that I am coveting at Anthropologie. Did you use a pattern for these? Love them!
Posted by: Jen | November 11, 2007 at 09:04 AM
Your pillows are darling! Are you selling your beautiful goods on Etsy yet? You should! I'd buy something. Your cupcake designs were absolutely yummy also.
