I'm exhausted!
I had purchased a gorgeous, soft teal velvet (with scrollwork) throw from one of those discount mall shopping places...the reverse side is floofy off-white pile. Well, some dumb-a$$ rolled it up and bound it together with wide clear tape, and when I pulled it off, off came some of the velvet, enough to notice. I went to Fabricland to purchase wide teal ribbon to sew all the way down that area but did I find teal? No. Torquoise...sure, but not what I needed.
So...falling asleep last night, I had a brainstorm!! I had wanted to sew pillow covers for a few pillows for their teal and off-white den, had some suede here, but hey!! I have teal fabric on that throw!! So I cut the border off, cut the fabric to make 1-18x18 pillow, 2-16x16 pillows, and 1-20x25 pillow! And did a lot of vacuuming-up of fluff! My back is killing me now, so later I'll cut out the ivory floof for the back and sew 'em all together! Yay!! Problem solved! They'll look gorgeous in the den on the soft teal retro-style sofa, and the room has teal accents like a vintage clock, etc. Another Christmas gift done! It's nothing extravagant, I paid 7.50 for the throw and had the pillows here!!
I hope it's not too early for a wine cooler, because that's what I'm having and I don't care who knows!! It was that or a Robax Platinum that our doctor doesn't want me to take. I think I made the right choice. :cheesygrin:
How's everyone else doing today?
