Last Saturday was wonderful. I slept in, then got the whole house clean (you know how much I love that feeling!) and then went to visit my mother, whom I feel like I haven't seen in forever! We chatted, she made me cocoa, we watched House ...it was marvelous. I also took full advantage of using her sewing machine (as I often do) and made some beautiful throw pillows for our bed. I love to decorate and I've been wanting to dress up the bed for a while but pillows are so darn expensive. I finally decided to go get fabric and make them. Mom helped me hand stitch the final seams and here is the end result! I LOVE them! I think they are better than anything I could have bought, I made 4 for the same price 1 store bought pillow would cost, and I got to spend time with my mom to boot. You can't beat that with a stick!

I enjoyed our time together, too, and those pillows look wonderful on your bed! Glad you and Jason got a day off together today.
And thanks for the helpful advice about my gimpy knee.
Those pillows are awesome! Yes, throw pillows are expensive and I usually try to buy them on sale. But yours are like the fancy kind that would cost $20 or more! Great job ; )
