I'm feeling crafty!!! Can you believe I made these? Well... I made most of what you see here. :o)I wanted to do something different for my daughter who turned 7 on Wednesday, but didn't really know what that might be. I can't tell you how many times I've went to Hobby Lobby and purchased supplies to "create" something special only to add more clutter to my craft supply closet. It's not a big closet mind you, but it is a big mess.
This time around I actually followed through! Almost... lol, they're not 100% done. I still have to stitch up the bottom where the stuffing was placed, but overall I'm almost there. My daughter was tickled pink, purple and blue when she saw these. lol

I can't take credit for the embroidery. A neighbor friend made the mistake of telling me she had an embroidery machine, so I immediately enlisted her on my mission, which by the way fueled my incentive to finish this project. We were both excited to see how the finished project would come out. They're so cool! The only mistake we made (currently being fixed!) is that the last pillow's font is slightly smaller than the other two. Fortunately I had more fabric! lol I'm going to sew a pocket on the flawed pillow for future tooth fairy visits. :o)
The backs of the pillows are printed fleece, front is cotton... some sort of cotton that actually has a bit of a sheen on one side, which works out well for this type of project. I'm wondering now if I should scotch guard them all? Any suggestions?
Ok... it's late, I'm tired and if I don't get to bed I'll be cranky in the morning. You know how us crafty moms are! lol Gotta get that rest!
