I'm Not Plump, I'm Fluffy!

I have a coffee cup that states this and has an extra "fluffy" white cat on it - I have enjoyed it for years. When I got this pillow finished and the feather/down insert in it, that little saying went through my head!! This pillow can't deny it - she is plump and fluffy!! LOL!! Crafted with vintage Cabin Crafts White Squiggle Chenille that came from a bedspread that I could not save. Super white and soft and ready to take her place in just about any setting. Another product of crafting therapy!

Etsy Front Page - CSSTeam

This morning I woke up way too early and put the "bold" coffee in the filter and pressed "bold" on the pot display and opened up etsy. To my surprise, I recognized an item on the front page, and then another. I rubbed my eyes and tried to focus on the shop names and then said....OMG it is the CSSTeam on the front page. I was so excited, I did not even notice my vintage barkcloth pincushion on the bottom row until I got my first cup. Thanks to Bramble and Vine for creating this wonderful treasury and all the commenters and clickers out there in etsy land!!! Craft Cult has this neat way to get the screenshot of etsy front page treasuries. And, last but not least, thanks to The Seasonal Cottage for helping me to get it published!

Pillow Happy

I played in my box of vintage chenille remnants yesterday and had a ball. It is all I want to do these days, make pillows! I feel like Jim Carrey in The Mask...."Somebody STOP Me!" No, not really, I don't want to stop and, afterall, it is cheap therapy - LOL. Here are the results of another day of crafting therapy...

These are listed in my etsy shop - Thanks for stopping by!!

The Happy Pillow

My crafting therapy today yielded "The Happy Pillow"! I sew away with my fabrics but sometimes I really like what I make. I could make a toilet seat cover with ticking and love it - I just love ticking, especially red. I purchased some vintage quilt squares, or circles I should say, from an etsy seller and put one together with some ticking today and it just made me smile. I have listed this ooak pillow in my etsy shop along with another pillow I made from a vintage feedsack. Hope all you moms have a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow and thanks for stopping by!
