I made Ida buy a pillow.
We were chatting last night; I told her the very sad story of A-zon losing my bird pillow cover. I had a nice insert ready and everything.
Lost in space pillow:
She comforted me, and then I saw an even better pillow cover:
Of course she loved it, because Tabby Cowcat and mini-horse, and I kept nagging her to get one, too.
She did. But she was upset that mine is coming today and hers not until Friday. 😁
I’ll update when I get it stuffed up!
If any of you weirdos want one, too, it’s only $9.99! It would be kind of funny if a bunch of us got it … the pillow company would be all, ”Wow, big run on the Cowcat pillow this week! Make some more!”

It’s a custom, shaped pillow! 😂 Apparently, someone sent in a pic of granny.

Comments (30)Oh gee, Threed! Yeah, you did explicitly state that in your op! Guess I was just so in awe of the beautiful pic, & I didn't see any clear beads (they all looked like pearls to me!) How nice that you created new to mix with the old so well! Good luck with your insurance matter. Is COBRA an option? I think that part of Obama's health care reform includes extending COBRA coverage to those on unemployment for an extended period (I think it used to be 8 months under the former plan, & it's over a year now.) I know you're doing all your homework & checking out all the options. You're a very resourceful lady & you always figure out how to address whatever challenges present themselves! I & so many others here will be praying about this for you. Thanks for the update & best wishes!...See MoreNice, ready-made pillow covers
Comments (18)Just thought i'd give you an idea of what could be done for $75. The two flower fabric area ready made from pottery barn, $25 each. The remaining 5 fabrics are purchased from Joann Fabrics $25. There is enough to make 5 pillows with the same fabric on each side ore 10 pillows with the pattern on the front and a cheaper fabric choice on the back. What I do is use the more expensive fabric on the front and use a drop cloth for fabric on the back. Since I change my pillows about every 3 months this is the most cost effective way. Even if you cant sew you can make pillows. There is an iron on tape on the market that can be used to put all the seam together. You coud even buy napkins and tie the corners around the pillow form, buy a scarf or table runner and wrap it like a package and tie with a large ribbon in the middle, theres lots of ways to get what you want for little money, you just have to get creative. Good luck, daisy...See MoreHelp! I've made terrible mistakes with LR (pics)
Comments (66)I love the furniture you've picked out. It will look bright and cheery and just the feeling of the inspiration pics you've posted in your other threads...once you paint! Paint the darn room already! :) My last house had muddy mauve and no natural light (houses on three sides and a big porch on the other). As soon as I painted, it changed everything. Even my mood was better. And if you have a front porch, I suggest you paint the porch ceiling blue. It made a big difference looking out my window and seeing Martha Stewart's Porch Ceiling Blue. Almost as good as being able to see the sky. :) Let your room evolve. Don't feel like it has to be "done" right away. Take your time finding art and accessories that you love. You're doing great and you're going to have a lovely space to enjoy....See MoreI want to make my own pillow
Comments (17)Raee, I've always slept with 2 pillows. The only time I sleep with one, is if I toss and turn and can't sleep and get frustrated and even try sleeping on my stomach. Then I toss out one pillow. But since I can't sleep on my stomach, I go back to 2 pillows. I buy mine at Costco. At $19 for 2, I can afford to replace them every couple of years. Costco also sells those gel pillows for $20. I'll have to see if they have one opened so I can squeeze it next time I go. Sleep Country sells the same pillows for $40.....I heard a gentleman say that he'd just bought one at Sleep Country when he saw them at Costco....See MoreJinx

11 days agolast modified: 10 days agoOk, Arness Eastwood is chillin’ on the loveseat now. I told DH it’s so tacky, it’s great. :D
I do have a more serious project going on — it’s been a fabric fiasco because I do not know what I’m doing when it comes to reupholstery.
Anyway, I found the fabrics I want to use for the two FB Marketplace chairs. Of course I didn’t order enough, so as soon as everything comes in, they’ll be off to the upholstery place.
I’ve never used this place before, so fingers crossed.

Love the texture:

This is my inspiration chair, but of course mine won’t look this good. This chair has such beautiful lines and features, and tapers in so nicely:
.Ida has been so helpful and patient with brainstorming with me, and getting sent 5,000 fabric ideas for input. 🥰😄

This fabric. Sigh. I’m in love.

I do like the pillows. I have an inexpensive IKEA sectional (gasp) in my basement and wanted to add a little color. I've always meant to add another solid color pillow with it (maybe blue or orange) but I like that these add a little fun to an otherwise fairly boring couch. I also really like embroidered pillows for the textural element. Plus the bird makes me smile.Jinx thanked pricklypearcactusJinx

9 days agoJinx, it's your fault I'm in the pillow cover rabbit hole. I love this one. Tonight I noticed Lizzie who is a bit senile didn't beg for her dinner like she always does, so I woke her, fed and brushed her, then a heavy duty rub on her cheeks and neck. She was a happy kitty.

When it didn’t show up for days after the expected delivery day (which I didn't care about), I got a message that it was lost and a refund would be issued. Ok, bummer, but thanks.
I then ordered Arness Eastwood.
Today Bird showed up. I guess it took flight, but then wanted to soar a little before settling down to feather the nest. Sow some wild oats.
It’s really nicely made, I like it. Color is not what the photo showed, but that’s fine for a cheep pillow. :D

(That’s BS. You’re much more creative than I am. I was so close to going with Tu.rd Ferguson, but that’s one of our many nicknames for NOC.)

I saw the shoes on A-zon, but am leery of them … there are no reviews. It seems a bit sketchy to me:
I’d love to see them in person. 😄
