Darth Gets a Friend... or Enemy

We were lucky enough to celebrate another friend's birthday last month. Tyler turned the big 0-9 and just happens to be the brother of Cannon (the recipient of the DARTH).  I thought it fitting that the Force be equally represented in their bedroom, so I made this stern looking Yoda pillow.

I sure hope they will have some epic pillow fights.

Happy birthday, Tyler!

Joyex Noel!

Merry Christmas to all

and to all a good night!

Just Cozying Up With Darth

Doesn't Darth look ominous AND inviting, sitting on the rocker?  I made this last minute gift for our sweet friend Cannon who turned 5 this week.  For some reason, I think it's hilarious!  

The last few weeks have been full of holiday parties, gift exchanges, birthdays and special sewing projects that can't be revealed until Christmas morning.  It has been a whirlwind-- but the fun kind of whirlwind.  Now, things are starting to wind down.  Projects are getting finished up.  Presents are mostly wrapped.  School is out.  Maybe now I can catch up on some blogging. :)

Darth and I hope you are enjoying the season as much as we are!

Upholstery Sample Pillows

Always on the look out for a good bargain, I bought some upholstery samples on sale at JoAnn's for $1 each. I bought pieces that had similar color themes in brocade, stripe, and floral. For the square ones I simply backed a floral with a solid color. For the rectangular ones I split a stripe piece and attached it each piece to opposite sides of a floral square. I did the same for the solid color back, splitting one piece and attaching it to the sides of another square. No wasted fabric! And no two pillows are alike.
