I have blog lists filled with the best blogs in blogland! (I actually have more than one list! lol)
Every day I am inspired by those that I visit and every day, I see something I like or want to try.
My girlfriend, Gayle at a Garden of Daisies has so many collections that I love. She collects paper dolls and you know how much I love dolls!
Here’s what I set out to ‘copy’! Linens with hand embroidery that she makes into pillows.
Here’s mine….

I found this table runner, but when I was folding it over the pillow to see how it fit, I decided I would just fold and fit! No sewing required! I didn’t want to cut it so I was going to try to make an envelope pillow case out of it anyway. So I got really lazy…I mean resourceful….and I folded it carefully around the pillow and put it on my chair to enjoy.

I have it spread out on my cedar chest.
(let the folding begin!)

A quick photo of the chair in my bedroom.

I have one more pillow that I bought at the Thrift store already made. It’s propped on the end of my baby doll crib.

So that’s what I did today. Oh, and I cleaned up the area around my sewing machine.
It was a good day….
a very good day!
