the crepe myrtles are blooming
mauves and pinks
in bunches!
was i enjoying them bouncing on a summer breeze
this morning...
no!
i was beavering
making 'strawberry fields' into chubby cushions!
here they are on the black couch...
this pair just covered their 40 cm inserts...
it was like dressing fat babies!
'strawberry' cushion no1
'strawberry' cushion no 2
back...note my second go at sewing buttonholes...
successful!
all the buttons are vintage or repurposed...
maybe there are sisters out there
who share a bedroom...
and love strawberries
and chubby strawberry cushions!
now
i'm going to enjoy the crepe myrtle blossoms,
the cool breeze
and the white pillowed clouds
drifting above me...
have a wonderful day!

They are so delightfully fresh and cheery Carol! Very nice :o)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I was into cushions, but you will convert me very soon. Your strawberry fields look so yummy.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful Carol. Adorable fabric. I love that you have also used our word for today in your blog twice. We are enjoying the sunshine and the 'breezy' day here too.

Oh my so gorgeous - Carol Do you have instructions for easy cushion making ? I am new to real sewing, I can hem and straight sew.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha!! Like dressing fat babies!?!! You're hilarious. ;-) They are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat are beautiful - yummy :O)
ReplyDeleteWell Carol,they're two of the cutest, fat strawberry babies I have ever seen!..xx
ReplyDeleteOh those cushions make me want to be a little girl again. They're adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour pillows are just too cute for words, but seriously if you can manage button holes you can manage a bag mine are just all straight sewing no tricks involved at all!
ReplyDeleteThose cushions look cute!!! Nice fabric!!
ReplyDeleteWhat divine cushions - my little monkey has a 'thing' for strawberries (one of those irony things because she can't actually eat strawberries!!). But I'm sure any little girls would simply adore this fabric :-)
