Today is my 30th birthday and as a little indulgence I'm writing this post!
A few weeks ago I picked up this sweet little loveseat (an early birthday present to myself) and knew immediately that I would have to make a new pillow to modernize my granny style. It's a little ratty around the edges but I hope to have it recovered some day. It happens to be perfect for now but perhaps I'll have it recovered in a great modern fabric like Katy's...
I just love it...
As for the pillow, I put together some vintage aqua linen binding, a string of lace, an old thrifted tablecloth, some Echino Camera's from the NeedleShop, and some Japanese import newsprint I got from a little etsy shop.
Prints that feature typography are all the rage right now and I am always on the hunt for something new and different. The thing about Japanese import prints with words on them is that they are not always edited, neither for English grammar, spelling or general content. Self-editing is not necessarily a strength I possess and that's why my pillow (and my blog) contains questionable content. Yes, this pillow is rated 'R' and I didn't realize it until I was attaching the back...at least I am open-minded and have a good sense of humor.
Thanks for stopping in...
I'll be back sooner than later!
