A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Scrap Pillows

November 1, 2012

Trick-or-treating was a success last night despite the rain. Maybe it’s all the social events that are part of October that’s affecting our schedule, but it’s been a trying couple of weeks  — K can’t seem to fall asleep before 11pm, which leads to much crotchetiness, whining and cajoling and all sorts of emotions. We have a very tired household…

I am thinking of sleep and rest, and that makes me think of pillows. I made these pillows out of scrap fabric left over from K’s clothes. Neutral, calming, a bit nautical. They make me want to lie down and drift off to dreamland…

I have a dress and possibly a coat to share with you tomorrow. Stay tuned!

    Thanks guys! I think the key to an earlier bedtime is an even earlier wake-up time. I am so not a morning person and she obviously takes after me…
