Pillows!

Every once in awhile I just get a craving to do something creative.  It's because I'm a Capricorn (one of my friends who is in to such things says).

I am able to be creative with our new house, but some things like the shelves that are taking 4 times longer than I thought they would to build, zap it.  And they're not even creative to begin with.

I'm not one to give decorative bed pillows much thought.  In fact, when I purchased a comforter 4 years ago, it came with decorative pillows that sat on the floor until I put them in a box to move and they stayed there until we got here.  So yeah...not really in to them.  

Mike on the other hand, is.  

As we were loading up a moving truck with some things Mike had at his parents' house after Christmas, since we had a truck, they gave us a few other things too.  Some of Mike's mementos, a comforter, and pillows that didn't work out for them, etc.  They weren't really our style, but I cut off the cover of the pillows, got some new fabric and we made our own.

I actually think we did an excellent job choosing.

we're still working on over the bed decorations (and nightstands...)

Note: fabric can get expensive, wait for sales and gather your coupons.  And then you'll have a completely customized pillow.

Oh how I really want to learn to knit a table runner.  I'm envisioning a chunky white.  (We're table shopping.)
