Little Bit of This and That

Well this week hasn't been too eventful, but that can be rather nice.  My main accomplishment for the week was a pillow to go with the glider.  I found this fabric and fell in love with it and thought about using it for the slipcover, but decided since it would sit in the living room for a while, it didn't really go.  Colorwise, yes, but pattern, not so much.

Isn't the pattern just precious!



I also decided I wanted to try to add cording to this pillow, which was a first for me.  I watched a couple Youtube videos on how to do it and went for it.  I came to a point where I almost gave up but then decided to keep chuggin' along.  I'm actually quite pleased with myself.  As long as you don't get really close and study it hard, it looks pretty good.  I will be doing more with cording and maybe some piping down the road for sure. 

 

 I apologize for putting it against a brown background when

the cording it brown, but hopefully you can still see it!

Other than the pillow, I have been doing some appliqueing on some onsies and making matching burp clothes.  I will post them, but have to wait b/c they are gifts and though I doubt either of the moms read this, I don't want them to see it yet.  I really enjoy making these and with all the babies coming I know I will be doing quite a few.

Since we don't have a child yet, well at least not outside of the womb, I'll leave you with some Tucker pics.  The first is him after standing in the rain... before you think we're bad dog parents, he has a dog house and was in it, but got out.  It's his own fault.  The next pic is what I find when the dog bed is in a place he likes... he's picky about where he lays.
