Brrr...it's cold outside!
It is indeed sweater weather around here! We are expecting a high of 7 degrees
and are bundled up inside enjoying a self-imposed snow day!
It's a good day for egg nog coffee, lots and lots of hot cocoa with marshmallows and home made cookies with peppermint chips and sprinkles!
We are already enjoying the Christmas season at our house....
we dug out all the decorations this weekend!
Our tree is the only thing left to decorate and that is only on hold because of some
twinkle light issues.
It's also a good day for some sewing!
Two of the throw pillows I usually have on my couch have been sitting around "naked" for a few days. Their old covers got washed and frankly, I've been hesitant to put them back on.
They have seen a few years of use and are showing how much they have been loved.
Plus, I've been itching to make some cozy and Christmas inspired covers to replace them.
-The front of the pillow-
-The back of the pillow-
Crafting bug satisfied...now to snuggle up with that pillow and watch the snowflakes fall.

-The front of the pillow-I ended up using three of my old sweaters and went
a little crazy cutting them up.
My plan was to make two covers but I ended up a little short on material so
I ended up making one cover a little bit too big.
One pillow insert was a little sad so I stuffed both pillows inside and now it is about the size of a bed pillow! I didn't really take into account how stretchy sweaters are when I measured it out.

I think I swoon over everything you make. It's really truly a gem of a gift you have for making such pretty, pretty things! I love getting to see them since that is as close as I will ever come to making them myself. : )
PS Happy snow and Thanksgiving week! : )
Such lovely pillows!! And I love that quote at the bottom of your post :-)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Love to come her and find that it's all decorated for Christmas, with your most beautiful touch, Court.
I'm excited to see your house all decorated for Christmas. I definitely need to put away the orange and bring out the red at my house!
I hope you're getting some rest and feel better soon!
Lovely lovely lovely. You are an inspiration! Would love to have a couple of these on my own couch! Must add them to my list pronto! :)
