Coffee for Breakfast

Well this month was quite eventful!!! •My new little very first grandbaby girl and I had a week to get acquainted! Her mommy, daddy, and her cute little self visited at my house. Just to let everyone know, she is the most perfect baby... Ever! Gorgeous! Her parents are pretty cute too.;) •My oldest daughter, Courtney, surprised us all with a wedding. Hers. We didn't even know she had a boyfriend until a few weeks ago. Again, gorgeous. She made a beautiful bride. I hope her day was everything she wanted. Twenty-three and as independent as always. I know her biggest dream of a wedding was for it to only be about her and her husband. I think that was accomplished. :) •We have found a new church home in our new hometown. Awesome presence of God! Freedom in worship, unity in spirit, and love. Sunday morning service was like a cool drink of water to quench our thirst for more and like a burning fire to ignite our hearts to follow God's call. It's been too...

I'm running a little behind on the pillow challenge. I still have to make 5 out of 7 pillows. lol They are planned. The first if for a friend. I promised her a pillow last summer, so I will work on it first. Then, the remaining 4 will be large pillows for Kaitlyn's room. They should be fairly simple. I didn't finish the pillow challenge in 7 days, but maybe by day 14!

Here are pictures of my pillow re-do from yesterday. It was pitiful. The tassles were barely there. I decided to crochet some new ones. I happened to find some brown yarn left over from another project. Here is the reconstructed pillow with four new tassles! This is not a great picture. I should have found a more neutral background.

Yes, I am keeping up with the pillow challenge over at houseonhillroad. I have completed two pillows and it is day two! I have just been too busy to upload pics. Hopefully I will post some tomorrow. The first pillow I worked on was actually a repair. I restuffed it. Maybe that wasn't cheating. It really needed done. The second pillow was also a repair, but a little more involved. It needed four new tassles and a seam had come loose. The tassles were beyond repair so I crocheted new ones. I love how they turned out. This pillow required total reconstruction so it was definitely not a cheat. Both pillows belonged to daughters of mine. Two down and five to go!

I plan to do this next week. I have a few ideas to start with. The challenge is to make seven pillows. I will try to complete one each day, but one or two of the projects may just be repairs on pillows I've already made. I made a pillow for Kaitlyn a while back that has become flat with lots of use. I need to re-stuff the insert. I have promised to make a pillow similar to this one for a friend since last summer. Courtney has requested a few more for her apartment. The only problem I foresee is narrowing my choices down to seven!
