Pillows of Purpose

I have had far too much time on my hands lately - basically ever since we moved in with my parents. You can only wash so many dishes, & take the dogs out so many times. So, I started getting excited about other things as a result of my boredom & loneliness. Things like my brother getting home from work and the mail coming...wait...am I 75 years old!? NO! I am 23. I should be doing stuff...like...sewing. Sewing? 75 year olds sew...Well, you get the picture. Nobody should be excited about the mail arriving.

So, I went to Hobby Lobby & I bought a pattern for throw pillows to go on a couch that we do not own, that will someday go in a house that we do not live in. Nonetheless, I am still very excited to get crafting again. Now we just have to find my sewing machine somewhere in the storage unit that we have rented. I have faith. I mean, it's either find it or lose my sanity.

The pattern I bought is similar to this...yet, more rectangular and requires 5 buttons ;-)

Here is the BEAUTIFUL rust/brick red fabric & the buttons that I chose for the pillow.

I like sparkles.

p.s. the sewing machine was located!
