my creative space: cushions

You may have noticed/or not, that over on the side bar under "a few things to do" that I haven't done anything about making the shibori cushion... for a very long time... yep I can hear the sound of crickets too! Well, I finally got my A into G and made it... hooray :) I used the fabric I made from the Shibori workshop  that I went to in March.  I'm so happy with how it turned out... LOVE it!

I was on a roll, so I also made a "grey cats ginger" cushion too! One side is mainly grey cats and the others side is mainly ginger cats. It's so bright and happy! My little man loves this one!

I forgot how easy making cushions was and how gratifying! It's so nice to have some new cushions for the couch... admittedly they don't quite go together but that's ok... we have two couches :)

  8. I was just thinking today I need to shame myself and list all my WIPs so I stop starting new things and start finishing old things! Your cushions look great, especially so because they are in your own designs of fabric, makes them that much more special I think :)

  10. Love it! We were just given some new-to-us living room furniture, and the seats are really deep, so my usual throw pillows just don't quite cut it anymore. Thinking about whipping up a few more--they're great for instant gratification, aren't they?

  13. So lovely! The shibori fabric you made looks gorgeous, I'd love to give that technique a try one day. And the cats are just so cute! I love your idea of having a list of projects you'd like to finish on your blog- I could do with something similar on mine to give me some motivation! Lol.

  14. your little boy has good taste!! these are brilliant Lamina. I really like the ginger side cats :-) I think the cushions will look great on your couches and shows individuality if they don't 'match' I am looking forward to seeing your next creations. Doris
