Pillow Talk



They always tell me to clean up my room
they've even suggested a dustpan and broom;
"tidy your toys, hang up your dress"
they take all the fun out of making a mess!

Featured: my niece and nephew and some of my handmade pillows
I make a LOT of pillows



Tomorrow and for the whole of next week I'm on holiday in Scotland
I'll miss you all

Thank you, Maya! You are always so nice.

I did my best but the weather was quite cool and cloudy the whole time. Sending you some virtual sunshine from home, we have plenty to spare :-)

handmade by amalia said...

Yes, my little models are darling, but they grow too fast :-)

handmade by amalia said...

Isn't it funny how all the children today love to pose? I'm constantly in awe of their sophistication.

Now that I'm back I can say with authority that you really should - it is an amazing place.

handmade by amalia said...

yes, I made them all :-)

Good luck with the renovations. Pillows are my favorites because you can change the look of a room so easily.

You can be sure I did! I'll be sorting them for days.
